Hughes Network Systems, the leading provider of satellite systems and services in the US, announced its new high-capacity internet by satellite technology the HughesNet Gen 4 which is expected to deliver up to 15mbps alongside more upload capacity and storage allowance.
The upgrade comes as Dish Network starts its own satellite broadband services to meet demands for high-speed internet in rural communities in America.
The Gen 4 comes at three price deals.
The lowest, at $50, gets the customer 10 mbps of download, and 20 Gb data cap, plus 1 mbps of upload. With the $100 package, the highest of the three, customers get to enjoy a 40 Gb storage allowance, 2 mbps of uploads and 15mbps of downloads.
Hughes’ Gen4 service will employ the EchoStar XVII, a ka band satellite equipped with JUPITER’s high-throughput technology. The new satellite with its enhanced version of the IPoS/DVB-S2 standard. has already provided 1000 Gbps of additional capacity since its launch last July.
Demand for satellite broadband has increased over the years. Recently, the FCC announced that nearly 20 million American in remote areas relied on DSL connection, or had no broadband access at all. Both Hughes and DISH are looking to tap into this market.
