[Asterisk-Users] Satellite Providers

[Chris Mason]

The delay in the air is minor. Radio travels very fast through the air.
Almost at the speed of light. 

 

It may travel very fast but it's also a very long way, 22,000 miles up, then
22,000 miles down, then the same all over again. The latency for satellite
is about 500ms round trip, that's a lot. It's on the very edge of what's
possible for VOIP.

I looked at Satellite and decided it was not competitive.
