How does it work?

HughesNet delivers high-speed Internet over satellite to backup your existing landline broadband connection. A HughesNet certified installer will connect the satellite modem to your LAN to insure you have broadband connectivity. The satellite modem will link to a satellite dish (antenna) that's typically mounted on the roof of your commercial building. Once the installer has verified the broadband connection, a 2-port (dual port) WAN router will be required to facilitate the fail-over/backup to satellite when the landline connection fails. The router will also automatically return to your primary landline connection once it is restored. Your business is now protected and you no longer have to rely only on your landline provider to keep your business on-line.

Enjoy the piece of mind of knowing that your business locations can stay on-line during a landline disruption. With HughesNet as a broadband backup, your locations automatically backup to a truly diverse broadband satellite connection in the event of landline failure.
