Satellite Internet

Satellite Internet is a type of internet connectivity that uses satellite technology to provide broadband internet access. This service involves a satellite dish that transmits and receives data from satellites orbiting the Earth. The data is sent to a satellite, which then relays it to an internet service provider (ISP) ground station, and vice versa for incoming data.

Satellite Internet is particularly beneficial in rural or remote areas where traditional wired internet services, like DSL or cable, are not available or practical. The technology allows users to access the internet for various activities, such as browsing, streaming, and online gaming, although it can be subject to latency issues due to the long distances data must travel to and from the satellites.

This service typically requires a satellite dish and a modem, and users often have various service plans based on speed and data limits. Satellite Internet has been improving over time, with newer low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations providing faster speeds and lower latency compared to traditional geostationary satellites.
