If you live in rural America and want high-speed internet at home, say hello to the new Hughesnet®— this is satellite internet reinvented! Now, you can do it all online, no matter where you live. Stay connected, stream movies, and play your favorite online games.
The Digital Divide in Rural Areas
The digital divide describes the gap between those who have access to the internet and those who do not. In the USA, almost a third of Americans do not have access to broadband internet.
Fiber optic, cable, and phone line-based internet providers require a physical network to deliver internet to users. In rural areas, there is room for improvement in infrastructure to support internet signals, particularly in remote locations. As a result, many internet service providers prioritize urban areas, leveraging existing infrastructure to expand their services.
Satellite internet for rural areas bridges the digital divide by eliminating the need for local infrastructure. With a satellite dish and a clear view of the southern sky, rural dwellers can connect to the new Hughesnet’s reliable, high-speed internet wherever they live.
