http://www.lightstalkers.org/what-satellite-system-to-use-to-transmit- An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us Work wants to upgrade with a sat phone and a broadband sat connection to transmit with. Any recommendations?

If you are not streaming live video I suggest the Nera World Pro 1000/1010. It gives you 384k downlink and 240k uplink. It is the smallest I have seen that gives you more than 200k up. I currently use the Thrane Explorer 700 that gives you 492k up and down which we need for our live broadcasts. But if 250k up works I suggest the smaller Nera. http://www.thrane.com/Land%20Mobile/Products/EXPLORER%20700.aspx Costs for most data connection services for light use is $60 a month and $6.50 per meg. Which really runs up cost. They also have unlimited plans of higher monthly cost. I don't know who our service provider is because I don't pay the bill but I always hear about it when I run the bill up. Hope this helps Steven Fri, 30 May 2008 04:13:34 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/what-satellite-system-to-use-to-transmit-#122484
