DirecPC
(redirected from HughesNet)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
DirecPC
A pioneering direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service from Hughes Network Systems that offered consumers high-speed access to the Internet. It required installation of a satellite dish cabled to an expansion board plugged into the PC. The uplink was made via the customer's own ISP, but the downlink was from the satellite to the dish at up to 400 Kbps.

DirecPC evolved into the DIRECWAY brand, which offers broadband satellite products for both business and consumer applications. Hughes Network Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of The DIRECTV Group, Inc., formerly known as Hughes Electronics Corporation. For more information, visit www.hughesnet.com and www.hns.com.
