Site
Relocation and Addition
Relocating
and adding network sites is significantly less complicated
and less expensive with a satellite network than with
most terrestrial technologies.
In
the terrestrial world, vendors require advance notice
to move a site; they may be unwilling or unable to fulfill
requests for quick relocations, or charge significant
extra fees. Adding a new location can be similarly complex
and costly, in addition to incurring increased monthly
bandwidth fees and other charges. In either case, the
time and expense required increases significantly if
infrastructure is not already in place - which is very
often the case in remote and rural areas.
With
a satellite network, installation of new sites takes
just a few hours. Relocation can occur on the same day,
in most cases, if the sites are close to one another.
And no additional terrestrial infrastructure is ever
required.
