Hughes Network Systems... New Government Plans (SatCom)


[SatNews] Bring cost-effective services to the government market is the lastest move by the Company...

Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES) has unveiled a new, cost-effective service package for the government market―Connect & Express for Government— with plans that enable government agencies and offices located in remote locations to affordably purchase broadband Internet service. Tony Bardo, assistant vice president for government solutions at Hughes, said, “With Connect & Express for Government, remote offices only need a view of the southern sky―not a complex infrastructure of wires and cables―to get cost-effective broadband Internet service, so they can confidently run the high-bandwidth applications to help them operate more efficiently and effectively.” Hughes Connect Service plans are best suited for small offices with one to two users and teleworkers; Hughes Express Service Plans are intended for medium and large size government offices with multiple users. All Connect & Express for Government service plans include commercial-grade equipment, installation by certified professionals, and 24/7 U.S.-based technical support via the Hughes Customer Gateway, a customer portal that provides real-time, online status reporting.
