| Is this Satellite Internet? |
| Low Latency, High Bandwidth Speeds |
| |
| Gtek is not Satellite Internet. Gtek utilizes nearby towers to provide Broadband Internet to your location. There are plenty of wireless technologies out there, and one that most people consider to be a contender with Canopy is 1-way or 2-way satellite broadband. |
| |
| Although both of these technologies are valid for Internet access, there is a significant difference between the two. |
| |
| Radio waves travel at a certain distance per time interval, and although this is relatively fast, it takes a lot longer to go to a geo-synchronous satellite than it does to go to a nearby radio tower. |
| |
| This time difference can be as much as 1-3 seconds. This means that the information you are seeing over satellite can be as much as 3 seconds behind real-time. |
| |
| The Lag associated with Satellite Internet can be disruptive or completely unusable for applications such as Database Servers, VPN Servers, Digital VoIP Phone Services and Real-Time Online Gaming. |
