Grocery Store Chain keeps 2,500 stores online with Hughes LEO backup

A grocery store chain with 2,500 U.S. locations faced costly network interruptions across its sites, which were critical for point-of-sale transactions, inventory management, and other services. With 10% of stores typically experiencing a service interruption daily, the retailer needed a reliable backup solution and turned to Hughes Network Systems for HughesON Managed Broadband.

Hughes implemented a solution utilizing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity to provide network-wide backup. This gave the grocery store chain network redundancy and resiliency, ensuring critical operations like credit card processing and communications would stay online during an outage. The Hughes solution provided peace of mind, helping to achieve uninterrupted revenue flow and maintain satisfied customers.
