Satellite Internet

Satellite Internet is a type of internet connection that utilizes satellite technology to provide internet access. It involves sending and receiving data signals between a satellite in orbit and a dish antenna installed at a user's location. This type of internet service is particularly useful in rural or remote areas where traditional wired broadband options, such as DSL or cable, may be unavailable or impractical.The connection process begins with the user's satellite dish communicating with a satellite in geostationary orbit, which then relays the data to and from ground stations connected to the internet backbone. Satellite Internet can offer a wide coverage area and supports various applications, including web browsing, streaming, and online gaming. However, it is often characterized by higher latency and lower speeds compared to terrestrial internet options, primarily due to the long distances signals must travel to and from the satellite. Despite these limitations, advancements in technology and new satellite constellations are continuously improving performance and accessibility in the satellite internet space.
