StarBand satellite Internet systems consist of
your choice of a satellite dish mounted on
wall mount, a pole or "ground" mount,
or on 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. StarBand satellite systems require a dual run of RG6
SCC coaxial cable (one
for transmit, one for receive) that 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 with any high speed Internet service,
Internet speeds, bandwidths and capabilities depends upon the equipment and
monthly service
package you choose.
