Case Study: Southern U.S. Park System achieves reliable, enterprise-grade connectivity across 90 parks with Hughes Network Systems' Managed Broadband

Connecting Park Systems in States and Across the Country

Southern U.S. Park System operates 90 park properties across mountains, forests, river gorges and beaches, where staff must communicate, process transactions and connect to the state’s integrated guest reservation system. Varying local broadband options and occasional terrestrial outages made it difficult to deliver a consistent visitor and employee experience, so the system contracted Hughes Network Systems for Managed Broadband services.

Hughes Network Systems optimized site-by-site access across all 90 locations—using fiber, cable, 5G/LTE, satellite and microwave as appropriate—providing enterprise-grade, high-performance connectivity with automatic failover to a 4G backup. Hughes also served as a single-source provider for provisioning, billing, management and installation, enabling reliable support for bandwidth-intensive apps, streaming and VoIP, and delivering consistent guest experiences and resilient operations across the entire park system.
