The company started in 1971 as Digital Communication Corp, after going through a number of name changes the company became known under the name M/A-Com Telecommunication Inc.

After several more changes in ownership and management, in 2011, Echostar purchased Hughes Communications, HughesNet’s parent company, in a deal worth over 2 billion dollars.
