customers to connect, stream and play wherever they live
GERMANTOWN, Md., Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (HUGHES), an EchoStar company (Nasdaq: SATS), today
introduced new Hughesnet® high-speed satellite internet plans that
allow customers to connect, stream and play wherever they live. The
plans leverage capacity from the new Hughes JUPITER™ 3 satellite to
offer faster speeds and unlimited data, as well as feature
low-latency Hughesnet Fusion® and Whole Home Wi-Fi.
Bringing unprecedented capacity for internet connectivity to the
Americas, the Hughes JUPITER 3 is the world's largest commercial
communications satellite. This ultra-high-density satellite
features more than 300 spot beams that alleviate congestion and
deliver a faster experience. The state-of-the-art ground system for
JUPITER 3 has a new dedicated fiber backbone to reduce latency and
artificial intelligence (AI) that automatically reroutes traffic
around congestion. The JUPITER-powered Hughesnet plans feature
download speeds up to 100 Mbps.

playing online like never before. Introduced to the market last
year as the first consumer-ready multipath technology, Hughesnet
Fusion seamlessly blends satellite and wireless technologies into a
low-latency, more responsive internet experience—now with unlimited
data and faster speeds. The Whole Home Wi-Fi lets users connect,
stream and play anywhere in their home.

games online," said Peter Gulla,

enable these applications with fast speeds, unlimited data and new
low-latency Fusion plans. Since inventing satellite internet in the
1990s, Hughes has been dedicated to constantly innovating our
service to meet the needs of customers beyond the reach of cable

reinvention of what satellite internet can be."
