The Satellites —
Broadband Internet at 22,236 Miles
Skycasters offers satellite
ISP
service through Telesat’s T11N and Intelsat’s G28 satellites. The combined Ku band coverage area of these two satellites allows Skycasters to provide service across the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. View a detailed map of Skycasters coverage here.
Our two satellites operate in geostationary
(geosynchronous) orbit at 22,236 miles above the equator in an area called the Clarke Orbit. A satellite in this type of orbit
is traveling at the same speed as the rotation of the earth, causing it to appear to always be in the same location as viewed
from any point on the surface of the earth. Dish antennas pointed at a GEO satellite do not have to move in order to track the satellite.
