Hughesnet is a Top-rated Satellite Internet Provider. The new Hughesnet is powered by a new, state-of-the-art satellite that’s engineered to deliver a faster, better internet experience even in areas with slow or no high-speed options.

Satellite internet service is available everywhere, even in areas with slow DSL and where fiber and cable options will not reach. With satellite internet, the signal is sent from a satellite to a satellite dish mounted on your property, which connects to a modem inside. The modem includes Wi-Fi 6 so that your phone, computer and other Wi-Fi devices can connect to the internet.

With the all-new Hughesnet, now you can do it all—connect, stream and play. Stay connected with family and friends through social media, video chat, stream TV series and movies from your favorite apps, work from home through video-conferencing and with Fusion plans you can play popular online games.

Step 1) A request for a Web page is sent from your computer to a satellite about 22,000 miles out in space. At this altitude, the satellite’s period of rotation (24 hours) matches the Earth’s, and the satellite always remains in the same spot over the Earth (geosynchronous orbit).

Step 2) The satellite contacts the Hughes Network Operations Center (NOC) which locates the specific Website you have requested.

Step 3) The Website beams the information back along the same path to the NOC, then to the satellite, and then to your computer through your Hughesnet dish and modem. Although the signal travels a great distance, there is only a fraction of a second delay during this transmission. This is similar to the delay you may have experienced when using a cell phone. In most cases, latency isn’t apparent while surfing online.

Once Hughesnet has been professionally installed, connecting to the Internet via satellite is simple!
