Reiter’s Wireless Data Web Log : Hughes offers WiFi package with direct satellite system<\/a><\/p>\n

Alan Reiter notes that Hughes Network Systems, has announced a satellite\/WiFi combo, targetted at owners of RV parks and similar.
\nIt looks like it’s basically a WiFi access point bundled right in there with the satellite system, which would allow for a very easy way to provide (expensive) bandwidth to remote locations.<\/p>\n

Hughes Network Systems today announced a supplement to its Directway two-way, fixed satellite system: WiFi. The new product includes an external WiFi access point, and the system is targeted at owners of parks and resorts catering to owners of recreational vehicles.<\/p>\n

The press release doesn’t include much information, such as data rates and costs, so I called the women who sent out Hughes’ press release. Airtime costs for service will be determined by the owners of the RV parks, so I wasn’t given any figure for what it would cost to use the service. <\/bq><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
