How it works

Internet is delivered from a satellite in space that transmits signals to and from a small antenna/dish on the home. 

Service is transmitted from a tower via cellular signals to a small base unit in the home.

Equipment needed

Viasat provides the satellite dish (placed outside the home) & wireless gateway (placed inside the home).

Cellular versions require antenna/modem (placed inside the home). Fixed wireless with line-of-site requirements will need exterior antenna mounted to home with router equipment inside the home.

Installation

Dish and wireless gateway are professionally installed to help ensure optimal service.

Cellular versions are typically self-installed and customer is responsible for ensuring optimal location. Most Fixed Wireless requires an on-site evaluation to ensure line-of-site to local tower providing service.

Reliability

Dish needs a clear view of the southern sky. Service can undergo temporary weather disruptions, but typically unaffected by downed power lines and ground issues.

Home must be within range of a cell tower and within line-of-site and distance range of exterior mounted antenna. Service can be negatively affected by solid obstructions like trees, hills, and large structures.

Availability

Available to the majority of the U.S. population.

Available to 46% of homes in the U.S.
