HughesNet (formerly DirecWay) satellite Internet systems offer 3 choices in equipment to fit your needs.

 The newest HughesNet HN9000 Ka band System utilizes one dish size (.74m oval) and an HN9000 modem to deliver speeds of up to 5mb down x 300k up from one satellite. Service plans for the Ka Band system start at just $ 59.98 per month.  The Ka band system uses spotbeam technology and cannot be moved from location to location like the Ku band system can.

 The HughesNet HN7000S Ku band System has been around for many years and is still the most popular system today due to it's flexibility and portability as well as the ability to choose from one of several satellites if line-of-site issues are present.  The Ku Band system comes with an HN7000S modem and one of two dishes (.74m oval, or a .98m round) depending on whether you choose a residential system or a commercial system.  The residential .74m dish is capable of speeds up to 1.5mb down x 200kb up, while the .98m dish is capable of speeds of up to 2mb down x 500k up.

HughesNet's (formerly DirecWay) Ka band satellite Internet systems consist of a .74m or mounted on wall mount, a pole or "ground" mount, or on a non-penetrating roof mount. A 1 watt transmitter / receiver unit is located on the satellite dish arm, and an indoor unit (modem) is placed somewhere inside. HughesNet satellite systems require a dual run of RG6 SCC coaxial cable (one for transmit, one for receive) that connects the transmitter / receiver to the modem.  The modem then connects to a computer network hub or to a wired or wireless router via an Ethernet connection. As with any high speed Internet service, Internet speeds, bandwidths and capabilities depends upon the monthly service package you choose.

The HN9000 Ku band system is designed for residential and commercial applications. While the .74m dish can be mounted on a south facing wall of your home or business, we always recommend mounting your satellite Internet dish on a pole for the most reliability!  Satellite Internet dishes require much more accuracy than a satellite television dish, and therefore can be knocked offline with any sagging and movement A pole mount will offer you the strongest support for the dish, resulting in the most reliable service. Pole mounts require a pole placed in concrete, and a return trip to mount the dish on the pole.  HughesNet will not pay for pole mounts, and therefore a $ 150.00 additional non-standard installation charge will apply.  ($ 100.00 for the pole mount, $ 50.00 for the return trip in our local service areas!)  Please visit our Installation page to see what is included in your Free Standard Installation, as pole mounts, 2nd story mounting, return trips and other installation tasks and so on are not included and will be billed accordingly.

The .74m system is the standard for most residential applications... however you may want to consider the .98m system if you would like the best reliability and greater service flexibility. Some of the higher speed monthly service packages require the .98m dish and the 2 watt radio. While both the .74m and the .98m dishes are available with a wall mount bracket, we always recommend mounting your satellite Internet dish on a pole, especially the .98m dishes.  Satellite Internet dishes require much more accuracy than a satellite television dish, and therefore can be knocked offline with any sagging and movement A pole mount will offer you the strongest support for the dish, resulting in the most reliable service.
