DirecWay is the new name for the DirecPC satellite internet access system offered by Hughs Networking. The system utilizes geostationary satellites to provide speeds up to 400Kbps (much higher is typical but 400Kbps is the maximum advertised speed). A 3 foot dish is used along with a USB modem. Two connection types are offered. A dial-return-system (DRS) uses your existing dial-up service to provide a connection to the Internet for all out going data and the satellite is used to route all returning data via satellite. The DRS systems offer a very nice Internet browsing experience at about 1/2 the upfront and monthly cost. The satellite-return-systems (SRS) use no phone lines after the initial setup and provides a 24/7 connection. Networking is possible but not supported by Hughes customer support. DirecWay services area marketed through several partners including DirecTV, EarthLink, AOL and others.
