Satellite High Speed Internet Access
What Satellite Broadband and Other Satellite Terms Mean
If you plan to use satellite Internet, then you need to understand all the terms that the satellite Internet industry uses.
Satellite broadband: One of several high-speed Internet options, which is made available from satellite technology. Because satellite Internet is always on users don’t have to log on the way dial-up Internet requires.
Satellite Internet bandwidth: At any one time, how much information can be uploaded and downloaded to and from the Internet.
Broadband Initiatives Program: Also called the Broadband Recovery Act and the Internet Recovery Act Program, the U.S. Government established this special program to bring satellite broadband to underserved regions to help stimulate the economy.
Learn about the impact of the Broadband Recovery Act.
Fair Access Policy (FAP): An FAP, which is put in place by each satellite Internet provider, limits how much each household can upload and download within a given time. An FAP makes it so everyone on the same satellite Internet plan has access to the same amount of bandwidth.
Rural Internet service: Many rural residents and businesses depend on dial-up because cable and DSL high-speed Internet is not available. Today, many rural Internet users can choose between wireless Internet and satellite Internet for faster Internet.
Satellite Internet dish: This small dish mounted on or near a building can receive and send information from an orbiting satellite. A modem, which is connected to the computer and the satellite dish, translates the microwaves into data that makes it possible to access the web.
Satellite Internet ISP: ISP stands for Internet service provider. Satellite Internet ISP is simply a company that offers Internet via satellite.
Southern Line of Sight: The minidish that is mounted on or near a building must face the southern sky without any obstruction, so that it can transmit and receive data from the orbiting satellite.
Wireless satellite Internet: A router will let you create a wireless network from your satellite Internet connection.
