Portable High-Speed Business System
Perfect for Disaster Recovery and Remote Construction Sites
North America Only

"If you cannot be free, be as free as you can." ... Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you are looking for a reliable way to take your business on the road with you while still enjoying the sights and sounds of this great country - you are on the right site.

The PortaSat® was originally created with you in mind. We operate our business on the road and designed this system for that purpose. Although we maintain a production facility that builds and ships the PortaSat to our customers, we sell and support our product while traveling throughout the country.

Take a moment to read about the many PortaSat features that complement a lifestyle on the road.

Since you are not retired and "time is money" still applies to you, the PortaSat provides a reliable, secure method of handling your day-to-day business needs and still offers you the freedom to explore and enjoy your life.

arrow We know you need to stay in constant communication with your business interests via E-Mail, pay your bills online, and track the stock market. You need reliable, high-speed Internet service.
arrow We know you have already tried cell phones and wireless cards and found that they are not always available everywhere you would like to roam and often provide very slow Internet access even when you are in within their network zones.
arrow We know the often touted Wi-Fi accessibility in RV parks has proven to be disappointing and rarely secure enough for private business transactions.
arrow We also know you spend some of the year in a fixed location where you may have a high-speed cable Internet connection already in place.
HughesNet, our Internet provider, allows you to put
your service on suspension for up to 6 months in any one year.
If you travel extensively and then return back to your home base, suspend the service until you need it again.

Service Contract Options:

Option 1 - 24-Month Contract: The current 24-month service commitment is extended if you use the "suspension" option until your service has been online for 24 months. When that commitment is met the service reverts to month-to-month (very similar to cell phone contracts). This option includes the 24-month HughesNet warranty on the equipment and a $100 mail-in rebate.
Option 2 - No Contract: Month-to-month service without a contract can be suspended for up to six months each year...or you can cancel the service anytime after the first 31 days of service without the early cancellation penalty ($400). This option includes a 90-day equipment warranty from Maxwell Satellite. HughesNet charges a one-time setup fee of $25. Obviously the $100 mail-in rebate from HughesNet does not apply as you are not under contract.

High-speed Solution: Internet by satellite is the only option for travelers that love to roam off the beaten path. HughesNet gives you reliable, 24/7 high-speed access everywhere you go...for one low price.

We have selected HughesNet to provide your Internet service as it maintains several satellites capable of providing service throughout the lower 48 states, Southern Canada and Northern Mexico. Not all of Hughes satellites provide complete coverage, so ask us before you buy.

Wherever you go in the continental USA,
high-speed Internet goes with you!

You don't need special permission from the FCC - or even HughesNet - to set up your high-speed, portable satellite system. Just enter your zip code in the satellite software stored in the HughesNet modem...write down the coordinates that display...set the coordinates on the dish...fine-tune the signal...go surf!

Security

HughesNet provides Triple DES Encryption on download and upload signals when connected directly to the satellite modem either with one computer or through a wired router sharing the Internet connection with other computers. For extra security, five (5) static IP addresses are available for an additional $20 per month.

Wireless Capability

Wireless: You can connect your wireless router to the HughesNet modem and share the Internet connection among multiple computers. The wireless router you already own will probably work fine. Linksys or D-Link are the routers of choice for most of our customers. [More...]

VoIP (Telephone over the Internet)

VoIP: If you find yourself in a "no-cellphone" zone, use VoIP to make and receive voice calls using your portable Internet system. See our review on VoIP services used by our customers.

You can change your payment arrangement anytime online.

  Customers Reviews      

 

 

"Just for the record - we had 30 KNOT winds here last night and although the dish was not directly in the path of the wind it was some what exposed and I never lost the satellite. The system has been everything you said it was and I am very pleased. " ...John W.

"I want to let you know how pleased we are with our HughesNet system. It's such a joy to be able to get online out in the middle of nowhere. It's proved to be a quick and simple process because of your wonderful instructions. Both times it's taken us about 20 minutes to setup and be online.

 

The outstanding instructions in the Training Manual have been so very helpful especially when the old brain has failed and we were in need of a reminder as to the process or steps required. Thanks for putting such a great manual together, and it's also a great tool when showing the system to others and they know there are such great instructions included. " ...Kate W.
