Get
broadband the way you want it.
No matter how you want your Internet access, HughesNet has an option
that's right for you. The one-way platform lets you receive large files
with blazing fast satellite speed. Or you can choose our exciting new
two-way platform and get the power of satellite for both uploads and
downloads. You can even get HughesNet to go with your HughesNet service,
using a single dish. And you can upgrade your one-way system to two-way
at any time!
With HughesNet,
you have more choices and more control over how you connect.
Always on
Our two-way HughesNet broadband by satellite is always on, so you
have immediate access to the net whenever you want it. Plus, it leaves
your phone line free. So you can surf and talk on the phone at the same
time -- and get rid of the expense of that second phone line!
How does
it work?
The HughesNet terminal is comprised of both indoor and outdoor equipment.
Outside, there is an antenna and transmit-and-receive electronics, integrated
into a small, unobtrusive dish. This equipment connects by coaxial cable
to the Indoor Receive Unit (IRU) and the Indoor Transmit Unit (ITU),
which connect to your computer through a simple USB connector.
Streaming Media
Now you don't have to go to the concert to see the band. Watch the webcast
from the comfort of your own computer. With the high-speed connection
of your HughesNet Service, you can take advantage of all kinds of
streaming media available on the Web.
Streaming media allows you
to play audio and video files without waiting for the entire file to
download. The high-speed connection you get with HughesNet makes streaming
media faster and more fun.
HughesNet opens up a whole
new world of information and entertainment on the Web. You can:
Listen to Internet radio
Play all your favorite audio files
Watch hard-to-find classic TV shows
View movies

What does HughesNet do for Streaming Media?
HughesNet makes Streaming Media faster, smoother and clearer. So you
can enjoy streaming video without uneven, jerky motion, delays or sync
problems. And you can listen to the radio or audio files without all
the snapping and crackling.
Security
HughesNet knows how important your privacy is. That's why our service
uses conditional access and triple encryption to protect both your incoming
and outgoing information. This makes HughesNet broadband access as secure
as you can get.
How Does
HughesNet Security work?
Conditional access uses encryption technology to secure HughesNet Service
against unauthorized access. It protects multimedia and digital files
from being intercepted by any site except those designated. Information
you send is inherently secure because of the complexity of our satellite
transmission.
