How HughesNet Works
HughesNet is a two-way satellite Internet provider that uses a satellite dish for downloads and uploads to the Internet. It does not use phone lines or cables, and works wirelessly through a satellite dish. The dish that is mounted to your roof communicates with a satellite which sends and receives emails, web pages, files and more over the Internet and then delivers it to your computer in just fractions of a second.
- A request for a webpage is sent from your computer to a satellite.
- The satellite contacts the HughesNet Network Operations Center which then contacts the specific website you requested.
- The website then beams the information back through the same path to your computer; this all takes a fraction of a second.
