Answer 2

It's like Direct TV or Dish. You have a little satellite on your roof. I had Direcway and let me tell you it sux! It was the worst thing I've ever had. I constantly had trouble with it and when it rains, forget it! You also have problems with support when something goes wrong. I'm an English speaking person and I only managed to talk to one English speaking person the year I had them. I couldn't understand a word those people said. I had them for the "Contract" year and then I threw that satellite as far as I could.

Answer 3

It's a kind of Internet connection. It's like DSL, but without any cables. Instead, you use a satellite dish. It's pretty useful for remote areas. I went to a small island a few months ago, and they had that there.

HI
Satellite Internet services are used in locations where terrestrial Internet access is not available and in locations which move frequently. Internet access via satellite is available globally, including vessels at sea. There are three types of satellite Internet service: * one-way multicast, * one-way with terrestrial return, and * two-way satellite access.


One-way multicast
One-way multicast satellite Internet systems are used for IP multicast-based data, audio and video distribution. In the U.S., an FCC license is required only for the uplink station and no license is required for users. Note that most Internet protocols will not work correctly over one-way access, since they require a return channel. However, Internet content such as web pages can still be distributed over a one-way system by "pushing" them out to local storage at end user sites, though full interactivity is not possible. This is much like a TV or radio content which offers little user interface.


One-way with terrestrial return
One-way terrestrial return satellite Internet systems are used with traditional dial-up access to the Internet, with outbound data travelling through a telephone modem, but downloads are sent via satellite at a speed near that of broadband Internet access. In the U.S., a FCC license is only required for the uplink station, no license is required for the users.


Two-way
Two-way satellite Internet sends data from remote sites via satellite to a hub, which then sends the data to the Internet. The satellite dish at each location must be precisely positioned to avoid interference with other satellites. The oscillators in some radar detectors can cause interference with these systems. Also, each location must use power management to adjust the amount of transmit power to compensate for things like rain fade. There are several types of two way satellite Internet services, such as TDMA or SCPC.

Uplink speeds rarely exceed one megabit per second and latency can be up to one second. Satellite phone services such as Iridium also provide data services at the comparatively slow speed of 2400 bit/s.

Answer 5

Sattilite internet or another word for it is dish internet meaning instead of a phone cable or tv cable you got a 21 to 25 inch sattilite dish attached to your house and ppointed to the southern sky to a Sattilite in space. This stays in rotation to the earth. this form of internet is nice but exspensive but not with out bugs on cloudy days or stormy days or heavy fog your not going to get on the internet I would hope for dsl if you could get it but Sattilite can be put anywhere if that is your only option.

Answer 6

its Internet but using a Satellite to transmit data.

Answer 7

You need to to talk to captain Kirk or Picard. They will will tell you.
