CHEVRON chooses Hughes Network Systems for US broadband

Hughes will provide Chevron customers with connectivity options, including broadband DSL, cable, 3G wireless and satellite service. The fully managed broadband service aims to provide an always-on turnkey system that includes installation, proactive monitoring, and technical support. Hughes Managed Services also will provide secure POS connectivity to Chevron's credit card authoriser via a PCI-compliant network and wireless intrusion detection technology in a bid to reduce security breach risks.

“We are working with Hughes for broadband services to increase our retail operators' long term opportunities for success. They now can have direct access to their own suite of applications while meeting stringent PCI security requirements. Chevron-certified network services from Hughes deliver a worry free solution for our retailers' commerce and connectivity needs — all from a single vendor,” said Chevron Sales Automation Coordinator Ken Morse.
