Hughes Announces New Range Of High-Speed Enterprise Satellite Service Plans
Germantown MD (SPX) May 04, 2005 Hughes Network Systems (HNS) announced Tuesday 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 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.
