Hughes Shared Hub Services Cost-effective real-time communications  across town, or across the country.

Shared hub services from Hughes Network Systems: Making Satellite Technology work for your business.

Today, businesses in a wide variety of industries are relying on VSAT (very small aperture terminal) satellite networks to help them communicate with their remote locations no matter where they are across town, or across the country.

Even for businesses with relatively small numbers of remote sites, satellite networks can be one of the most cost-effective ways to obtain efficient, on-line communications.

The central the heart of your network.

VSAT networks rely on a central hub  station to serve as the transfer point between the remote locations, the satellite, and company headquarters  or data center. The hub contains the necessary uplink/downlink equipment totransmit signals to and from the satellite.

For many companies, it is not desirable or feasible to own and operate their own dedicated hub. The solution: shared hub services from Hughes. Shared Hub Services from Hughes give you the efficiency of on-line communications at a cost that agrees with your bottom line.

Hughes Network Systems owns and operates four full-service satellite hubs located across the country. The hubs operate seven days a week, 24 hours a day. For a reasonable monthly fee, you have all the advantages of on-line satellite communications:

Data transmission 
Real-time video 
Audio transmission 
Disaster recovery 
Pilot programs for new networks or applications 

Using shared hub services means you avoid the expense of building your own hub and maintaining a technical staff to run it. You contract for only  the amount of satellite bandwidth that you need on satellites built by the world's largest satellite manufacturer.  And when your network needs to grow or change, you can count on Hughes to reconfigure the network quickly with a minimum of expense. Disaster recovery: being ready for the unexpected.  No one likes to think that a disaster  either natural or could hit the network. But in the event of a hub failure, whether it's a shared hub  or a hub dedicated to one company's operation, Hughes is ready to put you back in business.

The Germantown hub provides complete  backup service in the event of disaster. Hughes can bring your network back up rapidly and will keep it operating  while hub repairs are underway. As soon as the hub is repaired, we switch you back to normal operation.

The heart of HNS' technological leadership is its family of Satellite earth stations and services.
