There are over 300 communications satellites in the geostationary orbit, directly above the equator, spaced typically 2 or 3 degrees apart. Because they orbit the earth at the same speed and in the same direction as the earth rotates they remain fixed in the sky and you can use a fixed pointing very small aperture terminal (VSAT) to communicate.

The capacity for satellite Internet is measured in amounts of transponder bandwidth (MHz). Downlink EIRP power (dBW) and uplink G/T (dBK) and sensitivity (dBW/^m2) are sold to broadband satellite Internet service providers who have teleports with groups of large earth station dishes.

Broadband via satellite Internet service providers sell service to users by providing them with equipment and with monthly capacity on the satellite. atrexx, based in Germany, is an example of an international service provider providing broadband Internet via satellite capacity.

When calculating the downlink bit rate capacity required, allow at least 10kbit/s per PC. Uplink bit rates required are about 1/3rd of the downlink rate. If your use is only web browsing then the up/down ratio is about 1/5. One quarter is fine as a rule of thumb.

The sooner you free yourself from the burden of slow Internet speeds and break free from your dial up, the sooner you can get online quicker and faster.And it doesn’t matter what your situation is, or where you live.
