The satellite is manufactured by Space Systems Loral (SSL) and is a Ka-band high throughput satellite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The satellite is placed in to a geostationary orbit at 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above the surface of the Earth and it is the world\u2019s highest capacity broadband satellite. It was launched on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida on December 18, 2016. Extensive in-orbit testing of the satellite was completed very efficiently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAccepting handover of EchoStar XIX begins the final testing phase in preparation for commercial launch of our fifth-generation HughesNet service,\u201d said Pradman Kaul, president of Hughes. \u201cAs providers of America\u2019s #1 high-speed satellite Internet service, we are excited to now further expand availability of even faster speeds and more data for our customers across the nation. The rapid completion of in-orbit testing is a testament to how well our Hughes and SSL teams worked side-by-side over the last several months to ensure a smooth and successful outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">EchoStar XIX is designed with JUPITER System technology of HughesNet and is a Ka-band high-throughput satellite that offers 138 beams. These beams can cover the continental United States, Mexico, Alaska, parts of Canada, and Central America. The satellite will power HughesNet Gen5, which is the next generation of high-speed satellite internet service in the United States.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2274\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2274\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2274\" class=\"wp-image-2274 size-medium\" title=\"Internet Users\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Fastest-Internet-Provider-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Fastest Internet Provider\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Fastest-Internet-Provider-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Fastest-Internet-Provider.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>CenturyLink Internet<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With HughesNet Gen5, HughesNet is aiming to become the fastest internet provider in the US.
