Traditional satellite internet was slow and laggy. A newer generation of low-earth-
orbit (LEO) satellites, orbiting much closer to the planet, offers faster speeds
and much lower delay. Several providers now offer service to businesses, and more
constellations are being built.

**Where it fits**

– **Remote or rural sites** with poor or no fibre, cable, or cellular coverage

– **Temporary locations:** construction sites, events, and field operations

– **Mobile operations:** vehicles, vessels, and equipment

– **Backup connectivity** for critical sites, so an outage on the main line doesn’t
stop the business

– **Disaster recovery,** where ground infrastructure may be damaged

**Strengths**

– Fast deployment: often a self-installed dish and a power supply

– Coverage in places where other options are unavailable

– Performance that is good enough for video calls, cloud apps, and VoIP at many 
sites

**Limitations**

– **Performance varies** with congestion, location, and plan

– **Obstructions and weather:** the dish needs a clear view of the sky, and heavy
snow or storms can affect service

– **Latency** is far better than older satellite service but still typically higher
and less consistent than good fibre

– **Cost:** equipment and monthly plans can be higher than wired service in cities

– **Data policies:** check priority levels, caps, and what happens when you exceed
them

– **Dependence on a single provider’s network**

**Business-grade checklist**

1. **Choose a business plan** with appropriate priority and support

2. **Protect it:** place a business firewall behind the terminal, use a VPN for 
site-to-site connections, and keep firmware updated

3. **Plan power:** include a UPS, and generator or battery backup where needed

4. **Mount carefully** for clear sky view and snow or ice management

5. **Combine with other links** (cellular or wired) through a failover router

6. **Monitor performance** and set realistic expectations

7. **Read contract terms,** including roaming and relocation rules

**Security reminders**

A satellite link is still an internet connection. Apply the same controls: segmentation,
MFA, and monitoring.

**DBR Soft can design resilient connectivity for remote sites, including satellite
and cellular failover.** **[Contact us for more information.](https://dbr-soft.com/contact/)**
