Hughes Boosts Speed And Performance Of DirecWay Satellite Broadband

Germantown MD (SPX) Sep 13, 2005
Hughes Network Systems has announced that it has boosted the speed and performance of its DirecWay satellite broadband service for consumers and small businesses.

Powered by technology advancements in its latest DW7000 modem, HNS is improving the Internet experience by offering new plans with speeds up to twice as fast as existing offerings. The technology, previously available only to larger companies, delivers high-quality, high-speed Internet to everyone.

"Having broadband has become as necessary as owning a computer," said Mike Cook, senior vice president, HNS.

"Yet, millions of people don't have access to cable or DSL. DirecWay means broadband for everyone - whether to stay connected or to be more competitive - we're delivering an affordable, high-speed Internet access solution that's available everywhere. Thousands of new customers each month are joining our rapidly growing base of over 250,000 throughout the U.S."

Service Plans and Benefits

HNS is offering a wide range of DirecWay service plans to meet individual requirements. Whether it's a residential customer that wants to download Web pages quickly and ensure timely e-mail delivery, or a small business owner who needs a package of e-commerce capabilities, there is a plan that meets that need.

By offering a variety of service plans and empowering subscribers to select the one that's best for them, HNS is ensuring that consumers and small business owners have a quality Internet experience, and one that delivers the most value for their dollar.

DirecWay residential plans offer speeds up to one (1) megabit per second and start at $59 per month. Small business plans start at $99 per month and offer maximum speeds of up to two (2) megabits per second. All DW7000 plan subscribers will benefit from:

    - Faster speeds; - Enhanced performance; - Advanced spam and virus protection; - Multiple e-mail accounts with large storage capacity; - 24X7 live technical support; and - A trusted provider with more than 30 years experience delivering satellite services.

Broadband for Everyone

HNS can offer its subscribers unprecedented broadband choice because its service isn't constrained by geography. With satellite, broadband is available to urban, suburban, and rural Internet users - even where DSL and cable are not - thereby helping to bridge the digital divide and eliminating broadband "black holes."

"By making high-quality broadband service available to everyone, small businesses can compete effectively in today's global economy, students can experience the full spectrum of available Internet resources, and families can download music, surf the Web, and stay in touch with friends and family around the world," Cook added.

"HNS is ensuring that consumers and small businesses alike - regardless of their locations - get the connectivity they need, when they need it."
