All About Satellite Internet Services

How do you access the Internet other than dial-up if you live too far from a phone company office for DSL and there is no cable TV on your street? The answer is satellite Internet service. Satellite system is the new alternatives to connects you to the Internet via latest space data communication technology. Such Internet connection does not use telephone lines or cable systems; instead, it uses satellite dish for both upload and download data communications.

Theoretically, satellite Internet services are available worldwide. With satellite Internet services, you should be able to enjoy high speed Internet connections no matter you are in the vessels in the middle of south pacific or the jungle of Amazons.

At the time of writing, satellite Internet speeds range from 700kbps to 1.5mbps for an affordable package. Both 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!

Generally, satellite Internet can be divided into three categories: One-way Multicast, One-way with Terrestrial Return, and Two-way satellite access. The main differences of these services are the equipments setup and the core connection method.

In general, One-way multicast satellite Internet systems are used for IP multicast-based data, audio and video distribution; while for One-way terrestrial return satellite Internet systems, connection are done with traditional dial-up access to the Internet, with outbound data traveling through a telephone modem, but downloads are sent via satellite at a speed near that of broadband Internet access. As for two-way satellite Internet service, date is sent 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.

As technology advanced, stable satellite Internet connections are now available in a very low price to the public. As in United States, Hughes Net is one of the top companies that offer Internet services via satellite. They offer four service packages that each offers their own unique set of features and connection speed parameters.

The price of each package will depend on how fast the connection speed is, how many email accounts are included, and if you want a dial up connection added to your service package. You can save money by selecting the service package that meets your basic requirements for internet access.

High Speed Satellite Internet Access for Rural America

Do you feel the need for high speed Internet access and simply can’t get it? Not every home has access to DSL or Cable broadband Internet access services. In fact over 30 million people still can’t receive high speed Internet access. The costs of setting up DSL or cable access throughout the country, to each home, are in the billions of dollars. There are many promises that DSL or cable is coming, but when. Unfortunately it all boils down to economics, too few subscribers with too many miles. To many, satellite Internet access offers the solution. Satellite Internet service allows virtually everyone, anywhere to have access to lightning-fast broadband Internet access. There are two types of satellite Internet service, “one way” and “two way” systems.

With two way satellite systems the satellite dish sends and receives information over the Internet and delivers it your computer. The real benefit of a two way system is that you’re able to receive high speed access without tying up your phone line. Two way satellite service also give you an always on system. Download speeds can be as high as 1.5mpbs with upload speed about 128kbps.

One way satellite Internet access utilizes a dial up connection for upload page requests and offers similar download speeds of 256kbps to 1.5mbps. One way satellite Internet access is more reliable and economical than two-way satellite Internet services. It's faster and more reliable because one way satellite Internet doesn't experience the same time-out delays caused by "two-way" approach of uploading requests to the satellite. Satellites are really designed to broadcast and not receive information from small transmitters. One way satellite service takes advantage of satellite's strengths by using it for downloading of information only. As you know, when you're using a dial-up Internet service, your waiting time is based on downloading the information over your telephone line. The use of satellite Internet to download eliminates the problem.

If you are uploading tremendous amounts of information then a two way satellite system may be right for you. On the other hand, for average to moderate Internet surfers, one way satellite Internet access offers high speed that is reliable and much more affordable than two way access. Because of the simplicity and reliability, one way satellite Internet access is not regulated by the FCC. This gives the flexibility of choice of professional or self installation.

Put an end to your slow Internet access. Satellite Internet access may very well be the answer that you were looking for.

Ka Band -Affordable Satellite Internet On The Way!

Ka Band VSAT* satellite internet technology has enormous possibilities for telecommuters, rural locations and eventually for Motor Home users around the U.S. - if it works! Ka Band satellite internet is an all new approach to sending and receiving internet traffic from space (satellites used for internet are at least 23,000 miles from Earth). *Very small aperture terminal.

The key improvements in Ka band technology from the “blanket” approach used up to now are:

1. Ka Band employs “spot beams” rather than broadcasting over an entire Continent….a far more efficient use of the available bandwidth resulting in lower monthly service cost to end users (as low as $49 per mo.).

2. Ka Band doesn’t require a very large dish (the dish is about the size of a trash can lid) to produce high speed internet in either direction (downloads & uploads are very fast), resulting in a lower equipment cost to consumers.

3. Ka Band uses technology that drastically lowers latency (the “lag” created by data traveling all the way to space and back).

When available, Ka band will enable remote teleworkers and consumer users to surf, work and email successfully at speeds approaching DSL & Cable for roughly $450-$650 for equipment and $49.00 to $95.00 per month for service. Users can expect download speeds at roughly 1500 kbps (kilobits per second) and upload speeds from 128-256 kbps, more than enough to handle most any work or leisure scenario. The cost is higher than DSL and Cable but when you can’t get anything but dial-up, the cost might well be worth it for the 20,000,000 or so folks out there with nothing but a phone (if that!). Another benefit of this technology is users will now be able to take advantage of Voice over IP (using the internet to make regular phone calls). Current satellite technology (Direcway and Starband) has too much inherent latency to allow successful VOIP, unless you are willing to say “over” like a walkie-talkie connection, after each sentence! I currently make unlimited calls Nationwide for a flat cost of $25.00 per month and nobody can tell the difference in voice quality. I can call Europe for about $.03 per minute or less! The savings are big, but for some rural homeowners it might be the only telephone service they are able to get.

The service will initially be offered by Wild Blue Communications, a Denver based company, owned by several major Media outfits. Two other companies, SES Americom and Echostar have indicated they will join in the fray by next year. They are planning to start offering service sometime in the 2nd Quarter of 2005…….but I don’t expect it to be universally available until late in 2005. I will have monthly updates on the progress they are making at: www.vsatus.com . If you have been waiting for super fast internet service, your ship might have finally come in!
