WINDS satellite to bring SUPER FAST INERNET
How does 1.2 gigabytes connection speed sound to you? FAST! =>
A rocket was launched in Japan carrying a satellite on a mission to test a technology that would give SUPER FAST INTERNET to homes and business.
The “KIZUNA” (WINDS) is a communications satellite that enables super high-speed data communications of up to 1.2 Gbps to develop a society without any information availability disparity, in which everybody can equally enjoy high-speed communications wherever they live.
The WINDS communication system is designed for a maximum down link rate of 155 Mbps with a 45-centimeter aperture antenna for home use, which is faster than commercial optical fiber, and ultra-high-speed 1.2 Gbps data communications with a five-meter antenna for business users. WINDS is a geostationary satellite stationed above Japan at an altitude of 36,000 km, and can cover one third of the globe.
Based from reports, this technology is still on a test phase. It will include places and countries near Japan. EHEM… Philippines is near Japan. EHEM!
This means that if you are on a remote island or on top of a mountain, and you have a receiver with you (satellite dish/disk), then you could have internet access.. WHOAH!
Nice nice nice!
Where can we buy a receiver?

When this becomes available to us in the Philippines, I doubt that it will be very affordable…
Yeah brader…
most of the time, newly introduced technologies are priced higher.
But one of the effects of this new tech is that the old ones now becomes cheaper.

i wonder if the speed mentioned above is gigabytes per second or is it actually gigaBITS per second. the same goes for 155 Mbps. is it megabytes or is it actually megaBITS?
