Fixed or "stationary" Satellite Internet systems offer high speed (broadband) Internet access to almost anywhere with a southern view of the sky!

Stationary high speed satellite Internet systems consist of a (.74m, .98m, 1.0m or 1.2m) satellite dish mounted on a wall mount bracket, a pole or "ground" mount, a non-penetrating roof mount.  A transmitter / receiver unit is located on the satellite dish arm, and an indoor unit (modem) is placed somewhere inside. Usually a dual run of RG6 coaxial cable (one for transmit, one for receive) connects the transmitter / receiver to the modem.  The modem then connects to a computer network hub or to a wired or wireless router via an Ethernet connection. 

 

As a general rule in satellite equipment and service... the bigger the better usually applies.  For instance... if you intend to use your satellite Internet system for one-user casual surfing and e-mailing, then a standard residential satellite system with the smaller dish option and the smaller monthly service package will more than likely work fine for you.  If you require Internet access for working from home, day trading, etc., remote connectivity, VoIP (telephone over Internet) or other Internet activity, then we would recommend a bit bigger dish, stronger radio and faster monthly service package.

 

Internet speeds, bandwidths and capabilities depends upon equipment and the monthly service package you choose.  A variety of satellite Internet equipment and monthly service providers and options are available from just $49.95 per month depending upon your needs.
