How satellite internet works
Satellite internet is a type of connection that delivers internet access wirelessly. It uses signals between a satellite in orbit and a dish installed at a home. Unlike cable or fiber, it doesn’t rely on physical wires.
It works by sending data from your connected device to your home dish, which transmits the signal to a satellite in space. The satellite sends it to ground stations linked to the internet. The response comes back the same way. This enables connectivity, even in remote areas.

Frequently asked questions
Viasat Internet is residential satellite internet service. We’re dedicated to bringing reliable, high-speed connectivity to the hardest to reach people, places, and things — including families in rural or remote areas where cable companies don’t go.
Viasat Internet is best for people who have trouble getting reliable internet because they live in remote or rural areas where cable or fiber companies don’t go. It’s great for essential, everyday online activities like shopping, banking, education, and staying in touch with family.
This is how Viasat satellite internet works:
1. You click on your favorite website using your laptop or mobile device. Your request goes to your Viasat modem, then through a short cable to the dish outside your home.
2. The dish installed at your home beams your request up to our satellite.
3. Our satellite sends your website request down to a gateway station connected to our ground network.
4. The station relays your request to your favorite website.
5. The website delivers the information you requested back to the station, which sends it up to our satellite to be sent directly to you.
