Satellite Internet
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 worldwide, including vessels at sea and mobile land vehicles.Generally all satellite communications tend to be scattered and absorbed by moisture in the path of signal. This effect is reduced by increasing the size and collection area of the satellite antenna so as to gather and concentrate more of the broadcast signal. Modern consumer-grade dish antennas tend to be fairly small, which makes it easier for the signal to be literally drowned out during moderate rainfall. Very large commercial dishes two to three meters in diameter are less susceptable to rain fade, but can still be affected by the heaviest of downpours.
Two-way satellite Internet uses Internet Protocol (IP) multicasting technology, which means up to 5,000 channels of communication can simultaneously be served by a single satellite. IP multicasting sends data from one point to many points (at the same time) by sending data in compressed format. Compression reduces the size of the data and the bandwidth. Usual dial-up land-based terrestrial systems have bandwidth limitations that prevent multicasting of this magnitude.HughesNet, formally known as DirecWay, is bringing high speed satellite internet (commonly misspelled satelite internet) to those who previously thought they were stuck with slow dial-up. Can’t get DSL or Cable? No problem, HughesNet is available to you. Now everyone can experience high speed internet at lightning fast speed via satellite internet service from Hughes.
