Hughes Network Systems Announces Comprehensive Range of High-Speed
Enterprise Satellite Service Plans Standardized Approach for North
America Enables Greater Flexibility and Maps to Organizations'
Evolving Business Needs GERMANTOWN, Md., May 2 /PRNewswire/ --
Hughes Network Systems (HNS) announced today that it is offering a
comprehensive range of standard high- speed enterprise broadband
service plans in North America. The offering includes six primary
service plans and two access continuity plans. This approach allows
organizations to select the plan that best meets their needs,
providing greater flexibility and enabling customers to change
plans as they add more complex applications or as their businesses
evolve. "Organizations need to adapt quickly to changing business
conditions and none has the luxury of knowing exactly what their
enterprise will look like even a year or two out," said Mike Cook,
senior vice president at HNS. "HNS believes that an enterprise's
broadband solutions should be equally agile. By creating a
standardized service plan structure, we're enabling an enterprise
to choose the right plan for their business today, while retaining
the flexibility to easily migrate to new service levels when
business conditions change. At the same time they will have the
peace of mind that comes with implementing a proven service from a
trusted vendor." The DIRECWAY(R) Enterprise Service Plans are
supported by HNS' new DW7700 platform, which makes network
scalability possible on a site-by-site basis, as well as
enterprise-wide. Businesses of all sizes benefit because they can
grow at their own pace, increasing bandwidth at an individual site
or by adding sites and users across the enterprise. Because the
plans are managed by a single vendor, IT managers can focus on
their core businesses, rather than on whether their broadband
service will be available. Speed, Bandwidth and Availability The
service plans provide increasing bandwidth allocations depending on
the applications run at particular locations. From the Enterprise
100 plan, designed for basic business applications like credit
processing, remote monitoring and polling, to the highest
performance plan, the Enterprise 900, which supports high
bandwidth, high-speed networking, each plan was created to meet an
organization's individual needs and to accommodate a broad range of
applications. Access Continuity HNS is also offering two access
continuity plans, allowing an enterprise to operate the DIRECWAY
network as a back-up solution when the primary terrestrial network
fails. DIRECWAY networks can also be operated in load sharing modes
with terrestrial counterparts. As the demand for 100 percent uptime
increases, HNS' access continuity plans give administrators greater
control over their communications infrastructures and ensure
continuity of service when other means of transport fail. HNS'
Enterprise Broadband Service Plans are available throughout the
U.S., and are enhanced by features in the DW7700 platform,
including the most powerful satellite broadband router in the
market and backward compatibility to integrate into existing
DIRECWAY networks. About Hughes Network Systems Hughes Network
