Satellite Internet is one of the most promising types of communication. It is relevant when there is no alternative way to connect to the network. Let's take a look at the equipment that is needed to organize such an Internet.
To connect satellite Internet, you must have the following set of equipment: satellite dish, converter, DVB receiver.
A satellite dish is essential for receiving and focusing a weak microwave signal. For a stable connection to the Internet, the antenna must be at least 0.9 m in diameter. Most providers providing satellite access to the network recommend installing an antenna with a diameter of 1.2 meters. In cases where the signal is very weak (the border of the reception area), it is preferable to install an antenna with a diameter of 1.8 meters. In this case, it is necessary to fix the antenna only on a horizontal platform.
Converter - designed to receive a microwave signal from an antenna with its subsequent transmission to a DVB receiver; is a versatile device and can be connected to any satellite dish. Converters come in KU-band and C-band. The first is for universally linear polarization, the second is for circular polarization. Which one you will need, you can find out from your telecom operator.
The DVB receiver connects directly to the computer. It can be external (connected via the USB interface) and internal (connected to the PCI slot of your computer). A cable from the antenna is connected to the receiver. The receiver converts the microwaves from the converter and makes them "understandable" to your computer.
If you are going to use one-way satellite Internet, then you need a request channel. It can be any connection: modem (CDMA, GPRS, EDGE, 3G), any cell phone with Internet support, ADSL connection, or a dedicated line.
This equipment is very expensive, so it is better to entrust the installation and configuration to specialists. In the event of a breakdown, repairs can be very expensive.
