Implementing Satellite Internet Services At Your Home

Nowadays high speed Internet service is like TVs and radios, a must have in one?s modern life. However, high speed Internet connection via cable or DSL line is not available everywhere in the country. This especially refers to remote area where you can hardly find any cable ports.

When dial up and cables are not available, satellite Internet comes into the picture. As you might already knew, satellite system is the latest structure used for high speed data communication. Internet connection is theoretically available everywhere in the world via satellite Internet system: no matter you are in the vessels navigating middle in the ocean or in the ice land at the North Pole.

What are the benefits?

One of the major plus point on satellite Internet is that it brings access to information, knowledge, online services, and communication to the extreme remote regions. Think of doctors accessing to their online knowledge database for new found disease in remote area, mother communication with son far away from the villages, and economic development possibility via high speed Internet services; extending Internet coverage via satellites would give all regions equal opportunities to share the reimbursement given by Internet.

In France, satellite ISP CNES has conceived a pilot project called the "communications-enabled village", combining satellite and other broadband technologies. Picture a tiny village perched high up a mountain. You might think it isolated, in the middle of nowhere. That need not be the case, since a satellite can connect it to the rest of the world. With just a single satellite antenna?on the roof of the village hall, for example?is sufficient to provide broadband coverage for everyone via a radio link to cheap Wi-Fi antennas in each home.

Satellite Internet system in your home

Implementing satellite Internet service in your home is easy. This is especially true if you happen to live in the United States. Generally, what you need is to order the service from a retailer (Hughes Net in United States for example) and they will provide the necessary system and install it at your place. To get online via satellite system, you will need a satellite dish pointing to the clear sky of south, connected to a modem and then to your PC.

At the time of writing, Hughes Net service offers connection speed range from 700kbps to 1.5mbps in an affordable price. Yes, without doubts the upload and download speed for satellite Internet service is much slower when it?s comparing to cable or DSL connection. However, when compare to normal dial up modem, satellite Internet connections are more or less 10 times faster!
