ECHO

Echostar Corporation

A Colorado-based telecommunications company that delivers satellite TV through DISH and Sling, wireless service through Boost Mobile, and satellite broadband through Hughes. It began in 1980 when Charlie Ergen and his wife Candy started selling C-band satellite dishes from their home, originally under the name Echosphere before adopting EchoStar. The company launched its first satellite, EchoStar I, in 1995, and merged with DISH Network in 2023.
