Powering a Connected Future for Government & Defense Customers August 20, 2019 Government Solutions , SD-WAN false Hughes is proud to serve customers in government and defense sectors, both in the U.S. and globally. Civilian agency and military customers alike have mission-specific requirements for which Hughes tailors the most appropriate and innovative networking solutions—spanning a wide range of capabilities, from advanced technologies and systems development to service delivery and applications. In particular, Hughes draws on the deep experience and know-how of its talented people, who are the reason why the company has led the way in satellite networking for over three decades: What the company learns on the commercial side of the business has applications on the government and military side—and vice versa. In this special section of Channels, we highlight several government and defense projects that reflect the company’s mission of providing people with connectivity, where and when it’s needed. Meeting Customer Needs Hughes leads the industry in pioneering both technologies and services, delivering operationally viable and cost-effective networking solutions. In the defense arena, that might mean reducing hardware SWaP so that warfighters can be more mobile and agile...developing solutions that connect remotely powered aircraft. . . or, enabling helicopters and other rotary wing aircraft to go BLoS during intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. “U.S. and allied countries worldwide are working more closely with commercial communications innovators like Hughes to strengthen their communications networks and keep their users connected, just like our enterprise users,” said Rick Lober, vice president and general manager of Hughes Defense and Intelligence Systems Division. “The flexible and secure high-speed SATCOM services Hughes creates must support new and growing applications in every region, including the growing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle markets.” For government organizations, Hughes helps modernize networks and delivers robust and secure solutions, ensuring that people in field offices and locations anywhere have the high-performance connectivity they need to fulfill their missions. Whether its emergency responders, teachers and students, park and preserve rangers or environmental researchers, all need connectivity for various applications, often in places beyond the reach of terrestrial services or when disaster strikes. “Our government agency customers work day and night fulfilling missions many of us never hear about, yet demand connectivity everywhere they operate,” said Tony Bardo, assistant vice president of Hughes North America Division’s Government Solutions. “Whether we’re connecting a single park station or a disaster response command center or optimizing an entire agency network, our mission is to help our customers succeed in their missions.” Categories See All Broadband (10) Government Solutions (9) Innovations (8) Airborne Connectivity (7) SATCOM (7) Network Management (6) SD-WAN (6) Security (3) HeloSat (3) Emergency Communications (2) Popular Blogs Forty-Three States Prioritize Broadband AccessDec 10, 2020 Carving a Quicker Path to Dynamic Readiness for the WarfighterDec 15, 2020 Contract Vehicles Help States Prioritize Broadband AccessJan 25, 2021 A Half Century Connecting the WorldJan 25, 2021 The Future of 5GJan 25, 2021 Related Posts See All Finding the Right Technology Mix for a Citizen-focused Government February 23, 2021 Contract Vehicles Help States Prioritize Broadband Access Mike Tippets, Vice President, Enterprise Marketing January 25, 2021 Forty-Three States Prioritize Broadband Access Mike Tippets, Vice President, Enterprise Marketing December 10, 2020 Lessons Learned from 2020 December 08, 2020 The Power of Resiliency Tony Bardo November 18, 2020 ENJOY THIS POST?
