Pros/Cons |
| VSAT | Satellite networks send and receive data via high-frequency radio waves bounced off a satellite in orbit, providing a single continent-wide wireless last-mile solution. A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a device that is used to receive satellite transmissions and is capable of sending and receiving high-speed video, data and audio. |
|
| DSL/Cable | DSL is a family of technologies that provide digital data transmission over the wires of a local telephone network. A cable modem is a type of modem that provides access to a data signal sent over the cable television infrastructure. Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access in the form of cable internet, taking advantage of unused bandwidth on a cable television network. |
|
| Fixed Wireless/ EV-DO | Fixed Wireless services connect two fixed locations with a radio or other wireless link to enable data communications. The point-to-point signal transmissions occur through the air over a terrestrial microwave platform. EV-DO is a 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers worldwide that use the CDMA technology. |
|
| T-1/Leased Line | A leased line is a symmetric telecommunications line connecting two locations. It is sometimes known as a 'Private Circuit' or 'Data Line', and can be used for telephone, data or Internet services. T-1 lines are a popular type of leased line option that provides a dedicated phone connection configured to carry voice or data traffic. |
