A hybrid technology blends the best of two or more previous technologies. Innovative hybrid technology combined gas engines and electric power to make cars more efficient and economical. In a similar breakthrough, the technology behind HughesNet Fusion combines the best of satellite service with the best of wireless capability. This new hybrid makes satellite internet service faster, more reliable, and more responsive than it has ever been before.

Low latency refers to an internet connection that shows no visible delays or glitches in most common internet activities. A low-latency connection can support a wider range of content-rich internet activities than all previous satellite internet services.

In today’s digital world, you need internet even if you live in a remote area. In fact, it may be even more important for people who live far away from town centers to have reliable internet service through a satellite connection. No matter what happens to cellular towers or cables in bad weather, satellite internet connections can survive. In case of an emergency, you would still have another chance to get help through the internet.

But that’s just the beginning. Internet access can get you a remote job online when there are no other jobs within miles. You can earn a certificate or a degree online. Your kids can homeschool. You can even see the doctor or file forms for banking or taxes. And if budgeting for internet is a challenge, you may be eligible for payment assistance to help you get internet access.

Online games where you take turns work well with all HughesNet plans. Real-time multiplayer games that require rapid response, such as first-person shooter or combat games, are only supported with HughesNet Fusion plans. However, we do not recommend connecting console-based video games that require large updates since they quickly consume your plan data.
