Better Satellite World Podcast: Bridging the Broadband Gap, Episode 1 - The Post-COVID Enterprise

Broadband connectivity is only the foot of the bridge built by satellite networks. In a world shaken and stirred in ways unimaginable, connectivity has been revealed as THE primary economic enabler and the glue to a connected economy and the corporate enterprise.  The “hybrid” workforce and the rise of video and massive uses of data among even the smallest companies has made enterprise broadband increasingly essential.

 So where are the gaps and the opportunities within this sector? What changes have taken place within the company that pioneered and made consumable online access?

In this first episode of the Bridging the Broadband Gap podcast series, we take a look at the universe that Hughes created for the current and future enterprise.  We speak to executives who discuss the global trends in satellite broadband, the strategy going forward and how broadband is shaping the world’s most dynamic economy: that of the United States.

Randy Anders, Vice President of North American Sales at Hughes, leads the team responsible for the company’s enterprise sales in the U.S and Canada. In his role, Mr. Anders heads sales of the HughesON™ suite of managed services, including managed SD-WAN, as well as satellite solutions using high-throughput capacity from the Hughes JUPITER™ fleet, EchoStar fleet and OneWeb low Earth orbit satellites, to enterprises, franchisers, resellers and aeronautical service providers.
