Satellite Internet connects the computer to the Internet service provider through a satellite orbiting miles above the earth. Satellites provide telephone, television, and also Internet connectivity. Satellite Internet doesn’t require telephone lines. The computer is connected to a dish, and the information is sent to the satellite and from there, to the service provider. Satellite Internet is useful in remote locations such as rural areas and in mobile areas such as vessels.

Because of the long-distance links between dish and the satellite, there is always a delay in sending data, and hence for this reason satellite Internet is not useful in critical applications such as online gaming and real-time share trading. Another limitation is that very bad weather will affect reception. It is one of the new evolving technologies, and therefore the costs of installation and monthly fees are high. It is the most expensive service among the broadband services. Hence, there are few service providers such as Directway and Starband. |
