A Hughes Network Systems Case Study
HughesNet Business Internet Helps Norm’s Farm Share the Healing Power of Elderberries
Norm’s Farm is a family-run producer and online seller of elderberry products based near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The business depends on digital channels for email, order fulfillment, marketing, and selling through its website and marketplaces like Amazon and eBay, but struggling DSL service would kick them offline as many as 16 times a day. To solve this connectivity challenge they turned to Hughes Network Systems and its HughesNet Business Internet service.
Hughes Network Systems installed HughesNet Business Internet satellite connectivity, giving Norm’s Farm a reliable connection to manage suppliers, partners, and large online retail portals (including efforts to get into Kroger). The dependable service eliminated the frequent DSL drop-offs, kept their e-commerce and back-office operations online, and allowed the family to run and grow the business from a rural location — replacing as many as 16 daily disconnects with continuous, usable service.
