Thank you to all who attended and supported this year's event!
Last week we welcomed over 130 future innovators to the Hughes headquarters in Germantown, MD, for Take Your Child to Work Day! 🚀 From 3D printing at our new manufacturing facility to an immersive experience in the Center for Innovation and playing broadcasters in our in-house studio, it was a great day full of exploration and innovation. 🌟
Today marks a milestone moment as leaders from Hughes, Montgomery College, and the Pinkney Innovation Complex for Science and Technology at Montgomery College (PIC MC) come together with county and state officials, alongside development and construction partners, to commemorate the grand opening of the cutting-edge Hughes Manufacturing Facility (EXM)! This state-of-the-art facility is more than just a building; it's a testament to collaboration, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. 🚀
We are proud to announce the grand opening of our new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and private 5G incubation center in Germantown, Maryland! 🔧 The Hughes Manufacturing Facility (EXM) produces the U.S.-made hardware that powers networks around the world, like the Hughes HT3000W JUPITER™ System satellite modem and the Hughes HL1120W Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite terminal. 💡 The new facility, located in the Pinkney Innovation Complex for Science and Technology, will also offer hands-on training and educational initiatives for Montgomery College students, helping to develop a pipeline of local technical talent.
We are excited to announce the commercial availability of the Hughes HL1120W Terminal, a game changer in satellite connectivity technology! 🚀 🛰️ Approved by Eutelsat OneWeb for operation in its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, the HL1120W Terminal brings enterprise-grade, low-latency, high-speed connectivity to customers worldwide.
EchoStar, along with GSOA, European Space Agency - ESA, Thales, Inmarsat, Intelsat, and other individual contributors, is honored to be recognized with Via Satellite's Technology of the Year award for leading the development of the 3GPP NTN standards. 🏆 🛰 As 5G and 6G evolve, this effort will ensure that innovative satellite operators, such as EchoStar, are able to meet the needs of users wherever they are located!
🎉 We're thrilled to celebrate Adrian Morris, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, for his induction into the prestigious Space & Satellite Hall of Fame by Space and Satellite Professionals International (SSPI) on March 19!
