synergies
ENGELWOOD, Colo.,
May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- DISH Network and Hughes Network Systems, both EchoStar companies
(Nasdaq: SATS), today announced a new bundled service offering that
brings the power of DISH satellite TV together with Hughesnet®
satellite internet to create a superior solution in TV and
internet for rural America. In today's fast-paced, ultra-connected
world, quality entertainment and reliable connectivity are crucial
to the modern rural home, making this collaboration between
DISH and Hughesnet a critical step toward enhanced accessibility
across rural America. With this bundle, rural consumers –who are
too often overlooked and left with limited options–can watch
top-rated programming on their televisions, plus enjoy the
benefits of a high-speed internet connection no matter where they
live.
By combining the strength of the DISH Hopper® whole-home DVR
entertainment system with Hughesnet, powered by the JUPITER™ 3
satellite—the world's largest, most advanced commercial
communications satellite ever built—people living in even the most
remote regions will receive an unprecedented digital
experience, delivering customers the best video service. By
bringing Hughesnet, the Best Satellite Internet Service Provider of
2024 and one of the Best Internet Service Providers for Rural
Areas, according to the U.S. News & World Report 360
Reviews, together with DISH, households now have a further enhanced
solution to connect, stream, and play. The combined technologies
provide better coverage and performance throughout the entire
home.
"Our mission at DISH has always been to serve rural
America and change the way the world communicates, and now that
focus is supercharged," said Gary Schanman, executive vice
president and group president, DISH Video Services. We have more
capabilities than ever before, more products, more services, and
powerful brands that complement one another, providing our
customers with more options no matter where they live."
The new Hughesnet service plans in the bundle are powered by
JUPITER 3, the largest and most advanced commercial communications
satellite with faster speeds of up to 100 Mbps, unlimited data and
powerful Wi-Fi, allowing customers to now enjoy video
streaming, music downloads, video conferencing, gaming, and
more.
"With the combination of Hughes and DISH technologies,
innovation, and leadership focused on rural American homes, we are
more strategically aligned, and the customer remains at the center
of what we do," said Paul Gaske,
chief operating officer, Hughes. "Rural customers have
traditionally had limited options for TV and internet in rural
America. DISH and Hughes are solving those hurdles by further
advancing connectivity in rural communities to provide the best
value in TV and Internet."
New customers who take advantage of the bundle by adding and
maintaining both DISH TV and Hughesnet internet services, will
receive a $5 monthly savings off each
service.
