Is it time for satellite broadband to take off once more?

After a false start in the 2000s, satellite broadband is back in style, with several companies promising applications for industry, military and rural connectivity. What can – or can’t – these systems offer compared with terrestrial systems?

For those living in rural areas who are likely to be waiting for some time to receive fibre-to-the-home, satellite broadband offers the promise of high-speed Internet without costly infrastructure. Just like with satellite TV, an orbiting satellite bounces a signal from its point of origin to a dish fitted at the target property, without the need for costly underground cables. And with satellite TV subscriptions falling as the likes of Sky trial delivery of TV services via broadband, those increasingly redundant dishes bolted to the front of properties may have a new lease of life.
