Hughes Network Systems LLC, a global provider of broadband satellite solutions and services, announced the launch of a comprehensive suite of offerings to help meet the needs of the K-16 education market, including high-speed satellite Internet access, digital signage, distance learning and managed Wi-Fi solutions.

"Schools today — whether a kindergarten or high school classroom — are becoming increasingly dependent upon the Internet for success, but many students are being shut out of a first-world education because some administrations don't believe they can get affordable broadband," said Tony Bardo, assistant vice president for government solutions at Hughes. "That ends today. Hughes Education Solutions are tailored to meet the needs of any school, regardless of size, budget or location and include a wealth of digital signage media solutions, besides high-speed satellite Internet and Wi-Fi. Best of all, as an E-rate-approved vendor, some of the offerings are eligible for government funding to help offset the financial commitment, making them affordable to even the most budget-strapped schools, districts, universities and libraries."

The Hughes Education Solutions include HughesON MediaSignage solutions: Using HughesON MediaSignage solutions, schools can mount screens throughout their campuses, customizing and positioning timely information for student, faculty, staff and visitor communications and training, as well as for instant emergency communications, the company said.
