About HughesNet Satellite Internet in Minnesota

HughesNet is one of the nation's leading satellite internet providers, delivering broadband service to customers across Minnesota using its advanced Jupiter satellite system in geostationary orbit. Unlike cable or fiber, HughesNet does not require ground-based infrastructure to reach your home. A small satellite dish installed on your property communicates directly with a satellite 22,000 miles above the equator, meaning service is available anywhere in Minnesota with a clear view of the southern sky, from Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Rochester to the most remote corners of the state.

Northern Minnesota's vast forests and lake country, along with western prairie communities, have significant broadband deserts. For these communities, HughesNet provides a modern broadband connection that simply cannot be matched by the limited or nonexistent wired options available. Minnesota features the Northern Lakes and Forests, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Great Plains in the west, and the Mississippi River headwaters, and HughesNet's satellite technology overcomes these geographic barriers by beaming internet directly to your home regardless of terrain or distance from urban infrastructure.

Minnesota's lake country, with over 11,000 lakes, creates unique broadband challenges. Seasonal cabin communities in the Brainerd Lakes area, permanent residents near the Boundary Waters, and farming families on the western prairie all benefit from HughesNet's ability to deliver internet without terrestrial infrastructure.
