With the development and expansion of wireless data, the need for satellite-based systems has diminished greatly over the past few years. A lot of us had satellite-based systems because we needed connectivity to our offices, or our clients. It was the only way to go on the road and maintain our businesses. Now, my dish is gone and I rely 100% on my Millenicom Verizon-based MiFi with a Wilson antenna and amplifier.
Presently, the majority of users of satellite-based systems subscribe to service from HughesNet, followed by Starband and iDirect. iDirect is the system preferred for business customers, the data rates are higher in price, but speeds are very good, jitter and latency are consistent enough to run satellite telephone systems.
The major supplier of satellite systems, MotoSat, has gone out of business so fully operational NEW systems are impossible to find. There is a lot of used equipment. Rumors of Winegard coming back into the satellite internet business is going around the internet.
As was stated, most of the systems that you read about are designed for fixed locations such as HughesNet 4Gen, or Wild Blue, or Excede. Now that Viasat is about to get a contract with airlines to provide internet access from airplanes, maybe other vendors will appear offering mobile applications.
My suggestion is to join the DataStorm Users Forum where you can all the information about satellite-based internet systems. You can keep up-to-date on all the developments in the satellite internet world from some of the most knowledgeable people you can find.
