D-Link has joined Hughes Network Systems‘ (HNS) broadband alliance program. By joining the alliance, D-Link will get an inside track into the development and distribution of next-generation satellite broadband applications and services, which become certified to operate on HNS’ SpaceWay Ka-band broadband satellite platform.

Alliance members are supported by the Hughes Applications Center of Excellence, staffed with 100 engineers who collaborate with members and customers during the development and deployment processes. Applications being developed include secure videoconferencing, telecollaboration, telemedicine, distance learning-on-demand and flexible end-to-end networking solutions.
