Case Study: Southwestern U.S. Judicial System achieves improved bandwidth, stronger security, and cost savings with Hughes Network Systems Managed SD-WAN

Managed SD-WAN Resolves Bandwidth, Budget, and Security Challenges for State Agency

The Southwestern U.S. Judicial System is a large state agency responsible for courts, administrative offices, citizen e‑services, and connections to many sister agencies. Facing overloaded networks, outdated technology, and a restrictive long‑term contract that prevented modernization, the agency needed more bandwidth, stronger security, and a budget‑friendly way to support cloud migration — and engaged Hughes Network Systems to provide a Managed SD‑WAN solution.

Hughes Network Systems designed and implemented a Managed SD‑WAN across 72 sites, delivering tailored throughput per location, a strengthened security architecture with firewalling and monitoring/detection/response, and a cloud strategy to guide future decisions. The deployment optimized bandwidth to prioritize critical applications and support growing mobile access while avoiding costly additional circuits, yielding enterprise‑wide performance improvements, improved security posture, and predictable, scalable costs.
