Satellite broadband for high-speed internet

by Allen Schoonmaker marketing executive

Satellite broadband ensures high-speed internet connections for homes, offices and rural areas. For the benefits the technology offers, it has become one of the most popular choices for internet connections across the globe.

Those residing in urban locales have the facility of using cable based or DSL services. However, it needs cables and a well-established infrastructure to make use of it. Unlike DSL, satellite services do not need any cable extension or any terrestrial infrastructure surrounding the customer’s location. This is the biggest advantage of using satellite based internet.  

Rural areas are left out by high speed connections established by DSL because the infrastructure is laid poorly in the area, which his inefficient for the service providers to profitably connect to their potential customers residing there. In addition, terrestrial infrastructure is limited by the destructive factors like floods, rains and heavy winds.  

Such limitations do not have a role to play when satellite broadband is used to establish connections. For rural areas, satellite internet access provider offers a facility that never fails and that is always on. Weather conditions might play a role in altering the performance, and extreme weather like thunderstorm may interfere with the signals transmitted in the two-way broadband connection. Moreover, the technology is smart and ensures high-speed connectivity without having to look for robust infrastructure.

While living in rural areas can have many advantages, dealing with limited availability of resources can be onerous. Internet connectivity is one such problem that restricts the chances of development. They cannot get high speed internet access due to poor infrastructure. But, satellite brings a ray of hope for them.

Internet providers now offer satellite broadband connections ensuring two-way satellite internet services. Users need a satellite dish mounted on their roof to send information to the satellite and receive information that comes back. One-way connection is also possible with satellite services.

Rural areas are not the only sector that benefit, but the technology benefits mining industry too. Due the complexities involved in the structure, mining sector needs a robust wireless solution to ensure communication even in the extreme conditions. Satellite technology aids in establishing mining communications that is always on, and can connect the mine workers to the outside world for help and their safety.

Satellite solution providers can also offer help to their clients to establish connection even at sea – for video streaming, audio and video calls, entertainment, and so on. The connection is encrypted and ensure security while data transmission.
