Satellite Internet Vs Submarine Cable

As you ll remember that s about a full petabit.

Satellite internet vs submarine cable.

Although i didn t talk about the reliability and the security aspect with my friend who is from finance background submarine cables in fact almost all wire copper fiber coaxial connections are more reliable than wireless satellite is a wireless technology which uses rf spectrum in summary fiber provides unlimited bandwidth shannon s capacity limit. An internet connection on land sends a signal to a satellite in orbit outside earth which then transmits the signal to a satellite dish which has been installed at your home. Also data communication via a communications satellite is susceptible to weather conditions like rain or typhoons while submarine cables are not affected by the weather. The myth i m exploring isn t if spacex could carry marea s traffic it s if they could carry half of used internet bandwidth in 2020.

There they connected two ends of a 4 000 kilometer 2 500 mile long 1 5 centimeter 0 6 inch wide cable. Shorter communication distance and insusceptibility to weather conditions. That s a little less than one pair on the marea submarine cable. Welcome to my prezi background underwater submarine cables laid on the sea bed between land based stations to carry telecommunication signals across stretches of ocean.

So there are two advantages that the submarine cable has over the communications satellite. Unlike cable satellite internet is provided by a satellite provider.
