Mobile satellite Internet service has many categories. But if you’re serious about commercial-grade satellite Internet, you’ll be most interested in fixed transportable satellite Internet systems.
Fixed transportable satellite Internet systems are great if if you need to do more than speak on the phone or send simple data. These robust systems, often called “park and deploy,” provide the true broadband Internet access. Fixed transportable satellite Internet systems communicate complex information, support video streaming, and may host multiple technologies simultaneously.
Fixed transportable systems give you much more freedom. You can be anywhere in the satellite’s footprint, typically the entire country.
The first type of fixed transportable systems can be manually pointed, such as the Nomad. These are portable antenna systems that are set up at each new location, and their pointing requires the user to contact the NOC, and make physical changes to the azimuth and elevation of the dish, and rotation of the feedhorn. Manually pointed systems have the benefit of low cost, ease of transferring among various vehicles, and the ability of being positioned to avoid line-of-site obstructions such as buildings and trees. The Nomad erects on a folding mast that can be mounted to a transportable skid, or to a mobile satellite Internet trailer.
The second type of mobile satellite system is the fully automatic self-pointing antenna. The C-Com iNetVu 1200 Tripod Flyaway is an example of this technology. The iNetVu is extremely convenient, reliable, and can be deployed with the touch of a button. The antenna system itself is mountable on a tripod, in a flyaway box, or on the customer’s vehicle of choice. No particular expertise is required to aim this automatic satellite system – though full knowledge of RF Safety and procedures is required by the FCC. We offer the full C-Com iNetVu line, of which the Tripod system is one of the more versatile. Please contact us to speak with a sales engineer.
Satellite Internet service plans can be as low as $149 per month. However, there are packages available for first responders and power users to fit any requirement and budget.
Looking for an internet solution for extended RV trip across USA. Would need mobility and my application requires and ethernet connection (wireless not an option). 2-3GB /month is sufficient. Do you have a solution?
