Question:
Satellite Internet is not like other types of broadband access. It employs a satellite dish instead of a cabled connection to receive data from an orbiting satellite and relay station that is connected to the Internet. It is referred to as "line of sight" wireless because it requires a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. Mobile hotspot (cellular) devices are another alternative, but they may not be as fast as a satellite connection and rely on a stable cellular signal. Satellite may be the only choice for an installation located far from civilization (and cell towers). Cable, DSL, and fiber rely on lines that aren't long enough to reach a forest ranger lookout tower.
