<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>We're entertaining moving our intranet to
Hughes satelite for our remote locations. I'm curious if anyone with
Asterisk servers has used satellite, and if so, is the latency an issue.
My understanding is that you immediately introduce 250ms latency for travel
time up and back down, however it is a much more direct connection then offered
by traditional land lines.<br>
<br>
Perhaps someone has some other suggestions? We've started looking into
Global Crossing as an alternative to have more control and reliability between
all of our remote facilities, maybe this is a better alternative. Our
biggest problem is most of our sites are in smaller cities where your bigger
connections are more limited.<br>
<br>
Looking for any suggestions.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
