What are SkyWay USAs advantages over a two-way satellite system?
SkyWay USA is less expensive and more reliable than current two-way satellite systems. Severe weather conditions can affect any satellite based system, but because SkyWay USA uses a high-power 18 ft. satellite dish located on a 14 story building, our susceptibility to rain-fade is far less than our two-way competitors. Because two-way satellite systems transmit back to the satellite at maximum of 2 watts, users frequently experience a complete loss of connectivity in bad weather. Because SkyWay USA uses both the satellite downlink AND a redundant terrestrial telephone uplink through dial-up to connect to the internet, even under the worst conditions our service may temporarily slow down but will never fail.
