Nationwide Satellite’s Teleworker Solutions Utilize HughesNet Satellite Internet to
Support a Variety of Industries and Critical Business Applications
Tempe, Arizona, May 15, 2007 — Nationwide Satellite employs a comprehensive set of assessment tools to analyze, recommend and deploy solutions to accommodate rural teleworkers and small businesses throughout the continental U.S. – especially those areas that are underserved by Cable and DSL. Working with Hughes Network Systems (HNS), the leading provider of satellite broadband services, Nationwide Satellite is now offering rural teleworkers effective solutions to their remote business computing needs.
"Many of our customers have home-based businesses or conduct work-related research on the web and communicate with their work via web-based applications," said Mike Schmidt, President of Nationwide Satellite. "Others utilize VPN clients and other remote access tools to securely connect to their corporate networks, access files, email and applications. By conducting an assessment of each customer's needs we are able to deploy appropriate solutions to meet their business computing requirements."
Many employees, if given the option, would want to telecommute once or twice a week, or every other week. All that is needed is a computer, a phone line and a high-speed Internet connection. IDC (International Data Corporation) estimates that by the end of 2006, there were roughly 9.5 million telecommuter households, where telecommuters are defined as people who work at home three or more days a month, in the United States.
Nationwide Satellite has provided teleworker solutions for customers in the following job roles: regional sales and marketing reps, health care administrative and medical staff, customer service and help desk support, financial and insurance services, accounting and legal staff, travel agents and airline reservation staff, application and database developers, graphic designers and project management staff. In addition to supporting these job roles, teleworker solutions provide Internet access to part-time workers who are parenting at home, retirees and disabled staff.
Teleworking benefits:
- Organizational continuity of operations during security threats, natural disasters and flu season
- Improvement in organizational and individual productivity
- Reduction in traffic congestion, energy consumption and vehicular pollution
- Reduction in operational overhead costs
- Improvement in opportunities for disabled, rural and older workers
- Improvement in employee satisfaction, motivation and retention
