Does EMnet require satellite service?
No, but it is recommended. Satellite service provides an extremely fast and efficient means of message distribution to all recipients at the same time, and works very well for the monitoring of continuous warning feeds such as the National Weather Service. Most importantly, this type of service provides a very reliable, redundant communication channel – factors that are even more prominent with the two-way satellite option, allowing you to communicate directly with the EMnet server without an Internet connection.
