New Delhi , Aug. 9

IN a bid to make bandwidth on satellite more competitive, Hughes has lowered its satellite bandwidth prices by 40 per cent.

The company has introduced five new high-speed service plans targeted at the enterprise and SMB market.

Through these new service plans, it hopes to give organisations the flexibility to select a plan that meets their business requirement as they scale up the enterprise applications or number of users.

Priced between Rs 2,000 and Rs 10,000 for speeds from 256 Kbps to one Mbps, these plans will be operational from August 20, and is aimed at the banking, insurance, and e-governance sectors.

Supported by next-generation broadband satellite routers in the country, each tariff plan will have the ability to support multiple simultaneous users.

Hughes is the second largest bandwidth service provider after HCL Comnet. Tata and Bharti are the other players in the segment.
