Case Study: Global Cosmetics Service Provider achieves a consistent, secure, high-performance network across 400 European stores with Hughes Network Systems

When Global Operations Challenge a Brand’s Ability to Create a Consistent Customer Experience

Global Cosmetics Service Provider, operating 400 retail locations across Europe, struggled to deliver a consistent customer experience because its Cisco‑Meraki deployment could not easily accommodate country‑by‑country variations in connectivity, security, POS integration, and regulatory requirements. To address these challenges the customer selected Hughes Network Systems and its HughesON managed services, leveraging the existing Cisco‑Meraki partnership to pursue a Managed Services Provider approach.

Hughes Network Systems deployed a custom HughesON SD‑WAN and fully managed services stack—covering WAN termination, security, switching, and Wi‑Fi with monitoring and maintenance—supporting store‑by‑store variations across 17 countries. The implementation delivered a smarter, application‑centric network managed by Hughes, resulting in consistent high performance, security and reliability across all 400 locations and enabling a next‑generation, branded shopper experience.
