Along with the expense, satellite upload speeds may not support streaming applications like video, skype, voice over internet phones and video games. In fact, many satellite providers cap out your download speed at 700Kbps, as well as limit your gigabytes monthly. And latency times can often exceed 1000Ms.
Wireless Broadband allows you play online games, download movies, work from home and stay connected to your social networks from any area.
Most wireless service works similarly to the way your cell phone operates in that it relies on signal from a wireless tower rather than a physical connection like a phone line or cable. An EVDO modem (often referred to as an "aircard") receives the signal and allows you to connect to the internet - it's as simple as that!
There are countless reasons Rural Communities use EVDO.
