Satellite internet providers trinidad

Postby Work_to_own » February 23rd, 2018, 3:03 pm

Are there any satellite based internet providers? I live in rancho quemado.. where I am exactly there is no access to flow/Digicel/massy/tstt etc.

Right now I get internet from a Digicel 4G USB dongle plugged into a router. It's OK but drops to edge alot.

I thought greendot was satellite based but when I called they said they only have service up to siparia.

I know direct TV offers an internet service but seems they don't do it in Trinidad?

SpaceX Launches 1st Test Satellites for Starlink Internet Constellation Along with Spain's Paz

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer | February 22, 2018 10:27am ET

The two SpaceX satellite-internet prototypes, known as Microsat-2a and Microsat-2b, rode along today as secondary payloads.

"These are meant to gather data in advance of deploying and operating a satellite constellation that will provide internet service," Tom Praderio, a SpaceX firmware engineer, said during live launch commentary. "Even if these satellites work as planned, we still have considerable technical work ahead of us to design and deploy a low-Earth satellite constellation."

The Spanish Paz radar-imaging satellite (center) separates from the upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket after a successful launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base on Feb. 22, 2018. SpaceX's two prototype Starlink broadband satellites can be seen still attached to the second stage in the foreground.


The two experimental craft will help get SpaceX's Starlink satellite-internet constellation off the ground. If everything works out, this meganetwork, which company founder and CEO Elon Musk first announced in 2015, will eventually consist of thousands of satellites. Together, these spacecraft will provide low-cost internet to people around the world, with services beginning in 2020, on at least a limited basis, SpaceX has said.

"This system, if successful, would provide people in low to moderate population densities around the world with affordable high-speed internet access, including many who have never had internet access before," Praderio said.

SpaceX hasn't said much about Starlink publicly; indeed, the company didn't even announce the presence of Microsat-2a and Microsat-2b on today's mission until yesterday (Feb. 21), when Musk tweeted about the duo. The spacecraft are mentioned in documents SpaceX filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), however.

On Wednesday (Feb. 21), Musk did reveal on Twitter that the name for the Starlink satellites was inspired by the romantic novel "The Fault in Our Stars," by John Green.

"If anyone is curious, the name was inspired by The Fault in Our Stars," Musk wrote.

Is that for internet or TV channels via satellite?

Satellite internet will always suck because of the huge cost to launch a satellite and then with the limited lifespan of said satellite combined with the ultra niche market that even uses satellite, that means speeds will be ass and cost will be very high. You will never be able to get around this, you are better off buying land closer to civilization and build a new house.

Interesting synopsis there ED.

Satellite telephones are still the best, however.

You need to let tuners know that this is a part of Trinidad.

Real people reading this would be ashamed to say they never heard of Rancho Quemado.

Very, very nice part of T&T.
