Ka-band and WildBlue Satellite Internet

WildBlue offers some features which make it more advanced than other Satellite Internet Providers. The use of Ka-band is among those advanced features.

State-of-the-art and cutting-edge, the 20/30 GHz Ka-band frequencies and spot-beam architecture combine to form a superior broadband technology with maximum potential. Multiple re-use of the same frequency increases the system's capacity and lowers costs.

The WildBlue system is located aboard Telesat’s Anik F2 satellite, which covers the contiguous U.S. with 31 spot beams. Built by Boeing and launched by Arianespace, the Anik F2 satellite is one of the largest commercial satellites ever manufactured, located way up at 22,500 miles above the equator at 111.1° West Longitude.

The WildBlue Satellite Internet service is so adaptable that the company can even modify the earth-to-space signals on an individual user basis to account for such factors as weather. All of this technology boils down to faster internet speeds and an “always-on” connection that won’t leave customers hanging. The ins and outs of all this technology might be complex, but it's worth focusing on the main point -- Ka-band frequencies are powerful and effective and WildBlue Satellite Internet  signals fly at amazing speeds through space to your computer’s port, letting you work and surf in an ideal way.
