HughesNet Gen5 Project
HughesNet®, a global leader in broadband satellite services and networks, recently announced that HughesNet® Gen5 won the Gold Stevie Award in the category of Consumer Services in the 15th annual American Business Awards. The Gen5 project from HughesNet® is the first and only satellite internet service in the United States that offers broadband speeds exactly as set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload speeds, from coast to coast.
The Gen5 internet service from HughesNet® offers faster speeds, increased data, and built-in Wi-Fi services for individuals and small businesses in the continental US and important areas in Alaska. The Gen5 service from HughesNet® is powered by the Hughes JUPITER™ System, which is the most widely deployed global satellite-networking platform operating over the EchoStar XIX satellite, which is the highest capacity broadband satellite of the world, and EchoStar XVII satellite, which was launched in 2012.
