| Broadband internet and email access connection via direct two-way customer premise terminals (CPT) is now possible in USA and south America following a maturing of the technology and building of hub dishes by satellite broadband internet services providers. | Fast web downloads, email, ftp file transfers and streaming video and audio are achieved with speeds of typically several hundred kbit/s, using a share of a high bandwidth connection from a large hub station with a rate of up to 36 Msps (like digital sat TV DVB-S signal). | Two way satellite broadband capacity is shared. Services for home - office users have higher sharing ratios, but are lower cost than services for business users where dedicated or low ratio sharing is the rule. None of the services are cheap. | Service providers have tariff options for various service bit rates. Email and internet web browsing are the usual intended use. For applications requiring substantial uploading of data or for real time two way video or voice VoIP ask about higher price options and feasibility. Ask for prices. |

Please mail me, Eric Johnston, if you have suggestions or comments, all input welcome. Please contribute to my satellite forum. Ask your question. Offer your advice to help others.
If you have a significant business network requirement and need professional paid-for contracted consultancy support I can recommend a colleague at E-mail: sales@primesatcom.com , his web site is at Satcom consultant / consulting. I have written up a 'how internet via satellite broadband works' white pages guide. A wireless or cable LAN is a way of sharing the VSAT equipment price and monthly download bandwidth costs amongst a number of local users in a star network to provide service for internet cafés, local communities, apartment buildings, shopping malls, hotels and office parks.
The setting up and management of 2 way satellite broadband interactive ( BBI ) return channel system ( RCS ) satellite internet terminals ( SIT ) is done by the provider so any problem VSAT sites can be switched off remotely until a technician attends. Also, the equipment design and frequency bands comply to international regulatory "type approval" for general use so that operation does not cause interference to other services or continue to require individual license / licensing. Non-approved terminals will continue to require individual licensing.
