Hughes Launches India's First HTS Broadband Service

Hughes Communications announced the commercial launch of the country's first High Throughput Satellite (HTS) broadband internet service.

Using the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) GSAT-11 and GSAT-29 communication satellites, the service will provide high-speed satellite internet across the country, including in remote locations that are not serviceable by terrestrial networks.

Hughes HTS uses Ku-band transponders on GSAT-11 and GSAT-19 for high-bandwidth data transfers.

According to the statement, the service supports applications such as WiFi hotspots for community internet access, managed SD-WAN solutions, mobile network backhaul, and satellite internet for small businesses.

"We are confident that HCI will continue to deliver excellent quality satellite broadband services and further enhance the connectivity experience that accelerates India's digital transformation with the new HTS capabilities powered by ISRO satellites," ISRO chairman S Somnath told reporters here.

Hughes Communication India (HCI) Executive Vice President and Business Head Shivaji Chatterjee stated that the HTS service was launched a year ago in northern parts of the country, including the frontier areas of Galwan valley in Ladakh.

He stated that the nationwide commercial launch occurred after the government issued a policy requiring the use of shared infrastructure gateways. According to Chatterjee, the initial HTS broadband service will offer internet speeds ranging from 2 to 10 Mbps (Megabits per second).

"This new broadband service will address connectivity gaps, improve network performance, and support the high bandwidth requirements of government organisations, financial companies, cellular operators, mining and energy companies, among other businesses," Hughes Communications India president and managing director Partho Banerjee said.

Hughes HTS uses Ku-band transponders on GSAT-11 and GSAT-19 for high-bandwidth data transfers.

For the high bandwidth data transfers, the Hughes HTS service utilises Ku-band transponders on GSAT-11 and GSAT-19.

The service will utilise the GSAT-11 and GSAT-29 communication satellites from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to offer high-speed satellite internet throughout the nation, especially in distant areas that are not reachable by terrestrial networks.
