The Unique Needs of Government

From distance learning solutions for training when and where it’s needed, to telework connectivity for field offices and remote sites, to emergency communications solutions for emergency preparedness and response, Hughes has a track record of delivering high-performance network solutions to help government agencies perform more efficiently and cost-effectively.
In addition, Hughes is helping to keep over 1,000 small rural towns and local governments across the U.S. connected with Hughes broadband satellite service. Available continent-wide, and offering a range of high-speed, affordable plans, Hughes is the ideal way for small government offices to access the Internet and their national agency networks, no matter where they’re located.
Inter-Government Crisis Network (IGCN)
In times of crisis, reliable and resilient communications networks are essential for rapid sharing of critical information and coordinated decision-making among national, regional, and local agencies. The Hughes Inter-Government Crisis Network (IGCN) is a private “network of networks” that is instantly deployable and interoperable among any number of agencies and levels of government. Providing secure, alternate path communications and advanced private networking that doesn’t touch the Internet, IGCN enables maximum preparedness and rapid response to any emergency—for a true “Plan-B” national emergency communications plan.
Easy and Convenient Purchasing
Hughes makes it easy to order through a variety of contract vehicles for all levels of government, including the GSA Schedule, GSA SATCOM II, GSANetworx, and contracts with a number of states across the country.
