Get broadband the way you want it.

No matter how you want your Internet access, DIRECWAY has an option that's right for you. The one-way platform lets you receive large files with blazing fast satellite speed. Or you can choose our exciting new two-way platform and get the power of satellite for both uploads and downloads. You can even get DIRECTV ® to go with your DIRECWAY service, using a single dish. And you can upgrade your one-way system to two-way at any time!

Hughes two-way DIRECWAY® broadband by satellite is always on, so you have immediate access to the net whenever you want it. Plus, it leaves your phone line free. So you can surf and talk on the phone at the same time -- and get rid of the expense of that second phone line!

How does it work?

The DIRECWAY terminal is comprised of both indoor and outdoor equipment. Outside, there is an antenna and transmit-and-receive electronics, integrated into a small, unobtrusive dish. This equipment connects by coaxial cable to the Indoor Receive Unit (IRU) and the Indoor Transmit Unit (ITU), which connect to your computer through a simple USB connector. Just plug it in and load the software, and you're off and running!

DIRECWAY ® knows how important your privacy is. That's why our service uses conditional access and triple encryption to protect both your incoming and outgoing information. This makes DIRECWAY broadband access as secure as you can get. Conditional access uses encryption technology to secure DIRECWAY Service against unauthorized access. It protects multimedia and digital files from being intercepted by any site except those designated. Information you send is inherently secure because of the complexity of our satellite transmission.
