How does the Aussie Broadband satellite system work?
The Aussie Broadband modem is plugged into a network interface card within your computer. The modem is also plugged into the roof mounted satellite dish. Your internet commands are sent from the dish, and bounced off a stationary satellite back to the earth station. The requested information then returns to you the opposite way. The service can be connected to a network to allow for sharing of the service between computers in your LAN (local area network) but this is not part of the installation.
