How Hughesnet Satellite Internet Works
In a matter of seconds, your data travels to space and back on the following path:
2. Modem → Satellite Dish
Your modem receives the data request and passes it to your home satellite dish.
3. Satellite Dish → Satellite
Your satellite dish beams the data request up to a Hughesnet satellite over radio waves.
4. Satellite → App Server
The satellite receives the request, then sends its answer back along the same path. Your next action restarts the process.
