The Ka-band service, powered by HughesNet, uses a "spot beam" approach to deliver satellite broadband access. In Canada, HughesNet uses regional spot beams to provide national broadband coverage. The benefit of using spot beams is a more concentrated signal, which results in smaller dish sizes and affordable service package pricing for the end user.

The Ka-band service provides various service packages and pricing to meet your home and business Internet needs.
