Are you thinking of getting satellite broadband for your home?
Satellite broadband is simply internet access that is provided through communication satellites, typically those that are geostationary. This is a great option for those who live in rural areas where traditional fixed- line broadband services are not available as you must be located close enough to a phone center to be able to subscribe to a DSL service, for example. Aside from internet connection, satellite broadband also offers Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), standard and high-definition TV (HDTV), video on demand and datacast.
How exactly does it work?
Instead of using cable service or a dial up connection, satellite broadband uses links to its satellite dish. This technology offers a two- way internet access. Your computer will use a special satellite modem to broadcast its requests to a satellite dish that is installed on the roof of your home or your office. In turn, the dish will send and receive signals from satellites that orbit around 22,000 miles above the equator. Provided your dish has a continuously clear view of the southern sky, your broadband internet access will be uninterrupted.
Benefits of Using Satellite Broadband
Using a satellite instead of traditional cable or dial up for your internet has many pros:
- full, uninterrupted internet access for homes not within the immediate proximity of a phone center
- more flexible and easier installation
- typically cheaper and more cost effective than traditional internet connection
- advanced modern technologies offer faster internet connection
