Case Study
Hughes Network System
As a world leader in broadband satellite technology and services, Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES®) was focusing on a significant update in communication infrastructure. The process, however, was quite complicated by the remoteness of island deliveries, many of which didn’t have the capacity to accept commercial cargo aircraft landings. So, NXTPoint developed a comprehensive solution to warehouse, kit, crate, and ship telecommunications and satellite devices through a combination of air and ocean freight.
