HughesNet now in the Upload Speed Lead....

HughesNet took over the upload speed lead in U.S. shared bandwidth service offerings recently by making the highest level of upload service, 1000 kbps, formerly offered only to Enterprise accounts, available to all of the 7000 series equipment they sell through Value Added Resellers. It requires at least a .98 meter dish and two watt transmitter to work at those speeds and a 1.2 meter dish is recommended for fringe areas like southern parts of Florida, Texas and California.

This level of service and speed is not cheap for the home user at about $400 per month (or more for mobile users), but for Small and Medium companies as well as Emergency Response units, it's the fastest thing short of $3000 per month on a satellite in the U.S. right now! It should enable users to successfully do Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) with multiple lines and improve VPN connections by a fair margin. For those types of businesses requiring larger upload capacity, it will be fast enough to handle multiple surveillance cameras and even limited live broadcast remote capability for smaller Television stations.

Stay tuned......the competition for Business customers is heating up in the U.S. now and HughesNet is trying to lead the way... To learn more about the HughesNet Access 400 service, call Randy Scott @ 866-978-4613.
