GERMANTOWN, Md., June 7, 2006/Satnews Daily/ — Hughes Network Systems, LLC announced on Tuesday that it is making available emergency communications offerings during this hurricane season, designed for rapid service restoration.
Hughes said it has developed a range of emergency communications offerings under its HughesNet suite of services, for enterprises, government agencies and relief organizations as follows: · Access Continuity Service: a private satellite network with pre-installed terminals that automatically switch-over in the event of primary path failure; · Emergency Network Restoral: a pre-established private network with satellite terminals deployed rapidly following an incident; and · Emergency Business Internet: expedited installation of satellite terminals providing broadband Internet access to affected locations.
Satellite communications played a crucial role in the aftermath of the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last year. Hughes and its team of value-added resellers worked closely with organizations in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida to deploy emergency HughesNet satellite services and related equipment to reconnect people with their families, find medical care, and obtain relief services.
“For over twenty years, satellite networks have provided vital day-to-day communications for businesses and government agencies around the world. And as we saw with the hurricanes of 2005, satellite technology is robust and can be deployed quickly when disaster strikes,” said Pradman Kaul, chairman and CEO of Hughes.
Large and small businesses, government agencies, and rescue and relief organizations can access the HughesNet web site to obtain detailed information.
