Starband Satellite Internet by SpaceNet

Spacenet Inc. provides StarBand two-way, always-on,
high-speed satellite Internet service to residential, tele-
commuter, and small business customers. The StarBand
Nova Pro and StarBand Nova Ultimate are based on a new
generation of technology (the Gilat SkyEdge™ platform) and
are being offered at StarBand's lowest price point ever!

The new StarBand Nova Series provides cost-effective satellite connectivity for residential and small office/home office (SOHO) customers nationwide. StarBand Nova services use VSAT technology a generation ahead of the previous 480 series to deliver faster speeds and improved service quality for reduced prices. Engineered using Spacenet's experience providing mission-critical enterprise and government networks, the StarBand Nova services are aimed at users looking for higher reliability, professional-grade broadband Internet connection.

The StarBand system consists of a 24" x 36" satellite dish mounted on or near your home or office. The dish must have a clear view of Starband's satellites located 22,300 miles up over the Equator in the southern sky. Two standard coaxial cables connect the satellite dish antenna to the StarBand satellite modem connected to your computer via an Ethernet connection. StarBand sends requests to the Internet and receives Internet content via satellite. The satellite communicates with the StarBand hub facility, which has a direct connection to the Internet. No telephone connection, dial-up account or other Internet service providers are needed.
