What is the difference between wireless and satellite Internet access?
While both services transmit data without the use of wires, satellite access sends and receives data through satellites orbiting around the earth. Wireless Internet access uses a path of antennas between you and the Internet service provider. The two types of data are distinguishable by the kind of equipment that is used to translate them (a wireless receiver and a satellite dish and modem).
