Case Study: Major Fuel Retailer achieves full EMV compliance for 36 stations with Hughes Network Systems' HughesON Managed Network Services

HughesON™ Managed Network Services Make It Easy for Major Fuel Retailer to Meet EMV Deadline

Major Fuel Retailer faced a tight EMV compliance deadline and needed to upgrade network infrastructure and hardware across 36 fuel stations in the metro Atlanta area. The operator selected Hughes Network Systems and its HughesON Managed Network Services for a turn‑key solution, citing competitive pricing, 24/7 support, and the vendor’s ability to handle site‑by‑site complexity while preserving a consistent customer experience.

Hughes Network Systems conducted comprehensive site surveys, optimized network capacity for chip-based transactions, and upgraded POS firewalls and LAN switches to maintain PCI compliance, backed by Hughes’ Digital Concierge monitoring and the HughesON portal. Hughes completed upgrades at all 36 sites in two months—well ahead of the deadline—and the retailer reports seamless operation with no major incidents since achieving full EMV compliance.
