<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>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.<BR></FONT></DIV>
