How does a satellite Internet connection work?
All you need is a home computer and Hughes can provide the modem, coaxial cables, and antenna. When you sign up for service, you can choose to lease or purchase your modem, which is necessary for your computer to communicate with the satellite. Two 100 ft. coaxial cables are used to connect your computer to the modem and to the satellite dish. The antenna is your satellite dish and receives the satellite signals. The dish will likely be mounted on your roof with a radio installed nearby.
