Why HughesNet?
See what makes HughesNet America's #1 choice for satellite Internet.
Satellite communication technologies can be put to use to provide Internet access to users all over the world, even to those in rural areas. The Internet connection is achieved by installing a suitable dish and a modem and through communication with the operating center of the satellite Internet service provider. A major advantage of satellite Internet is that the data transfer speeds are much higher compared to dial-up connections and are comparable to that achieved through DSL or cable broadband. Another advantage is that there is no need to use a telephone line.
When opting for satellite Internet service, it is important to ensure that the dish is placed with a clear view of the southern sky. This is because most of the satellites that will be used for providing the Internet service are positioned near the equator.
As the satellites are positioned at about 22,000 miles away from the earth’s surface, there can be a small delay, referred to as latency, when data is sent or received. Though it may not be perceptible in most cases of Internet usage, it is better to avoid participating in certain video games that involve multiple players as the latency problem may become more pronounced.
It is easy to operate the system once it is installed in the user’s premises by the authorized representative of the satellite Internet service provider. When the user sends a request for a web page from his/her computer, signals are transmitted to the specific satellite being used by the service provider. The satellite in turn diverts the request to the operations center of the service provider to locate the requested web page. Information from the requested website reaches the operations center through the satellite and the same is transmitted back to the user via satellite and modem.
With Hughesnet internet, you can enjoy online web functions at its best.
