Satellite Internet - HughesNet Satellite Technology

How does it work?

HughesNet delivers high-speed Internet over satellite—not over your
telephone line—so you can surf and talk at the same time. A certified
HughesNet installer will connect your computer to a satellite modem
and link it to a satellite dish (antenna) that’s typically mounted on the
roof of your home. The satellite dish sends and receives information
(i.e., email, Web pages, files) over the Internet and delivers it your
computer almost instantly!

What is HughesNet?

HughesNet™ is the high-speed Internet solution that's available to
everyone in the contiguous U.S. with a clear view of the southern sky.
HughesNet uses satellite technology to give you a super-fast, always-on
Internet connection—so you can enjoy the Internet the way it was
meant to be. HughesNet gets you online instantly, lets you surf and
open pages faster and download files in a fraction of the time it takes a
dial-up modem.
