Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES) has announced today that TMC has named the Hughes HT2000L Multi-Path Terminal as the winner of their 2019 TMC Labs INTERNET TELEPHONY Innovation Award.

The first of its kind in the industry, the HT2000L provides connectivity for satellite and LTE services in a single hardware terminal; either operates as the primary network path or as back-up, with automatic failover switching between the two paths.

Hughes provides turnkey enterprise solutions for large distributed organizations and franchises in industries including retail, restaurant, retail petroleum and convenience, energy, government and more. HughesON Managed Services scale to support thousands of branch locations.

The 2019 TMC Labs Innovation Award winners will be highlighted on TMCnet and INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine’s online news portal.

Dan Rasmussen, SVP, North America Enterprise, Hughes, said the future of business is hyper-connected. Virtually all distributed enterprises — such as quick service restaurants, convenience stores and gas stations — span urban, suburban and remote locations that all require secure, reliable and scalable Internet connections. The HT2000L meets that need with a single, plug-and-play device that delivers broadband speeds as either a satellite modem, an LTE modem or both. The company's commitment to going the extra mile to deliver value to customers inspires the firm to innovate industry-defining solutions.

Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC, added that the TMC Labs INTERNET TELEPHONY Innovation Award recognizes the best and the most unique products and services that this industry has to offer. Hughes has proven their commitment to quality and the further development of the IP communications industry through its HT2000L. Congratulations to the entire team at Hughes for earning this great honor.
