Satellite internet: A wireless approach

Satellite internet is a form of high-speed internet service that utilizes telecommunications satellites in Earth orbit to provide Internet access to consumers. This type of internet service covers areas where DSL and cable access is unavailable, though it offers less network bandwidth compared to DSL or cable, however. In addition, the long delays required to transmit data between the satellite and the ground stations tend to create high network latency, causing a sluggish performance experience in some cases. Network applications like VPN and online gaming may not function properly over satellite Internet connections due to these latency issues.
