wireless technologies for a high-speed, low-latency internet
experience
GERMANTOWN, Md, Sept. 12,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC
(HUGHES), an innovator in satellite communications for over 50
years, today announced it started rolling out a new low-latency
satellite internet offering to consumers in select U.S. markets.
Available as HughesNet® Fusion plans, the multipath
offering seamlessly blends Geostationary (GEO) satellite and
wireless technologies into a fast and responsive satellite internet
experience.

"With HughesNet Fusion plans, we are solving the latency
challenge inherent with GEO technology, while maximizing the many
advantages of these time-tested satellites, including low cost,
reliability, dense capacity and widespread availability," said
Pradman Kaul, president of Hughes.
"GEO satellites are the workhorses of the connected ecosystem,
essential for meeting the demand for connectivity everywhere,
particularly in rural areas, whether alone or in combination with
other transports such as wireless and Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
satellites."
The Hughes multipath technology was previewed for reporters at
the SATELLITE conference in March
2022. Today, HughesNet customers in select markets who want
a faster, more responsive satellite internet experience can take
advantage of the HughesNet Fusion plans.
Kaul continued: "We are rapidly entering an era in which hybrid
connectivity—both multi-transport and multi-orbit—will be
commonplace. To realize that connected future, at Hughes we are
integrating different transports with smart technologies and
managed services to create a dynamic, always-on, connected
environment that we call the ActiveComms Ecosystem. The HughesNet
Fusion plans are an outcome of that approach."
"HughesNet Fusion plans elevate satellite internet as we know it
today," said Peter Gulla, senior
vice president, Hughes. "The multipath solution represents our
continued commitment to meet the changing needs of those who live
where other high-speed providers do not reach. The launch of our
ultra-high density JUPITER™ 3 satellite next year will bring
further service enhancements, including service plans with speeds
up to 100 Mbps down."
When using satellites for internet access, signals travel a long
distance from device to a satellite in space and back. The time it
takes for the signal to travel is known as latency. This
delay doesn't impact most online activities but can be noticeable
when, for instance, browsing content-rich sites and video
conferencing.
Delivering low-latency satellite connectivity with 25 Mbps
download speeds and No Hard Data Limits, HughesNet Fusion plans are
available today to HughesNet customers in select regions across the
country. Hughes aims to roll out the offering in markets across the
U.S. later this year.
