Remote Internet Satellite
« on: 30. Jul 2004 at 22:20 »
Being a snowbird and technical geek I have always yearned for
access to my email and the internet while in my RV. I have found a
company in Canada that does that though I believe their solution is
based more for mobile services in the north. Costly yes, but they
have been very knowledgeable and my system automatically locates and
locks in within 3 minutes no matter where I have been. Why is it
that more northern businesses do not utilize this technology? The
company is www.ciibis.ca

First guess, is that it goes to antenna size. Generally, the
farther out you are within the satellite's "footprint", the bigger
the antenna you need. Bigger antennas don't travel as well.
