How does a satellite connection compare to terrestrial links?
Satellites are ideal for areas hampered by inhospitable geography or where the terrestrial infrastructure is poor. In many parts of the world, they can provide the only truly reliable means of access to the Internet. Even in developed parts of the world, satellites are often an attractive alternative because they are distance insensitive. In other words, the clients’ costs do not change depending on where you are located or your proximity to the internet backbone.
