The Business Satellite Internet has proved to be a connectivity solution for hard-to-reach businesses almost anywhere.

Learning the facts is the first step to making any business decision. But the facts are not always clear-cut when it comes to selecting a company internet service provider.

That's why we're busting a lot of satellite internet industry myths. The satellite internet of today is not only a viable choice for simple access, it is a total communication solution for hard-to-reach companies almost anywhere.

Myth 1: The internet via satellite is vulnerable to weather outages.

Myth 2: VoIP doesn't operate with internet satellites.

Truth: Business Internet prioritizes VoIP applications, and most VoIP services operate out of the box right now. Viasat, for instance, provides Viasat Voice, a full-featured voice service designed to run over a satellite from the ground up.

Myth 3: The Internet via satellite is for rural businesses only.

Truth: Satellite Internet has proved to be a successful choice for hard-to-reach companies just about everywhere, including suburban and urban sites trapped on old land-based networks or vying for capacity on crowded cell towers, accessible to 96 percent of the U.S. population.
