What is Satellite Internet? Getting high speed internet through satellite is called as satellite internet. Satellite internet is much faster than DSL or cable internet. Satellite internet can be accessed even in remote corners of the country. They are easy to install and operate. The internet speed is higher than DSL or cable internet. Satellite internet is also called as lightning fast internet connection. You can download heavy files in quick time and even listen to online radio uninterrupted. The internet speed is constant and does not fluctuate.

What is DSL? The full form of DSL is Digital Subscriber Line. DSL internet is faster than cable internet. It is a broadband internet connection and files can be uploaded and downloaded quickly. The most important point is that you do not require any new cabling to be connected to DSL internet. You can simultaneously connect through the phone lines for accessing internet and receive and make calls too. DSL internet is much more faster than dialup internet. While you opt for a DSL internet connection, you get a DSL modem for connecting to the internet.

The differences between Satellite Internet and DSL:

As the digital bandwagon makes its way around the world, we are seeing its tracks touch almost every part of our daily lives. From digital chips in automobiles, coffee makers, telephones, televisions and credit cards, one of the most booming industries the digital era has revolutionized is photography.

While film-based SLRs have been around for nearly a century, digital SLRs have only been around for about a decade. Once a luxury and strictly for the professional crowd, digital SLRs have evolved into a camera that today is being picked off the shelves by amateurs and advanced hobbyists. This change has been brought on by falling camera prices, better picture quality and increased capabilities of these cameras.

But why SLR?

Today’s digital SLRs have the best of both worlds: these cameras can morph from a full manual camera to a point-and-shoot camera with a turn of a dial. They often sport higher mega-pixel image sensors, interchangeable lenses, more on-board functionality, beefier and more durable bodies, faster shutter speeds and instantaneous response from the camera once the shutter button is pressed than standard point-and-shoot digitals.

If you’re accustomed to the point-and-shoot cameras of today, there are a few things you’ll probably miss with a dSLR. To accommodate interchangeable lens mounts that are backwards compatible with older lenses, to allow for larger image sensors and to mimic the feeling of traditional SLR cameras, dSLRs are generally much larger than point-and-shoot cameras. While there are many pluses for having a larger body, tourists and those hoping to stay inconspicuous may want to stay with the small confines point-and-shoot cameras.

Another drawback of dSLR cameras compared with point-and-shoot cameras is that there is no live preview on the rear screen. dSLRs lack this for two reasons: first, there is a shutter and a mirror blocking the path of light from the lens to the image sensor; secondly, more and more of today’s dSLRs are using CMOS image sensors (which are less expensive to manufacture and take less energy to use compared to its CCD rival) do not offer a way of having a live preview due to the inability to map pixels into a matrix.

So while dSLRs may not be for those who need live previews or small camera bodies, their capabilities are much greater than point-and-shoot cameras — at a price.

The speed of incoming and outgoing internet computer data can vary between broadband DSL and cable modems. Understanding how cable modems operate in comparison to DSL provides a better understanding of why broadband DSL is the preferred choice in broadband technology.

Cable modem internet service is used mainly in residential settings rather than for business use because it is usually offered as a package deal with cable television programming. Cable programming uses separate channels within one main cable for television broadcasting, outgoing internet computer data
from subscribers, and incoming internet computer data to subscribers in specific locations. Unlike DSL, all cable television and internet subscribers in a specific location share the same cable to and from the provider. This means that every cable subscriber sharing that single cable also share bandwidth. The speed of internet service via a cable modem doesn’t depend on
the distance to and from the provider. It depends on the number of other subscribers on the same cable who are using the internet simultaneously.

Broadband DSL allows subscribers to use the same telephone line for telephone communication and internet access. Broadband DSL uses frequencies that go way beyond the frequency range of regular telephone service, so data transfer speed with DSL is considerably greater than other options. Unlike cable modem
internet service, the speed of broadband DSL depends on the distance the provider is to the DSL subscriber and connection speed chosen by that DSL subscriber. DSL is generally faster than broadband cable modem service because of greater amounts of bandwidth availability. Broadband DSL is a dedicated internet link that can be counted on for speed and reliability.

DSL is clearly the best choice of broadband technology for the general public as well as businesses relying on fast connections and internet downloads. Internet users can rely on broadband DSL for faster internet browsing, game plays, and emailing, as well as all other internet-based activities.

When deciding on the best bandwidth configuration to run your video conferencing on…you may think you have endless choices. Sometimes it appears that way when you may actually be limited to just a few. Here’s a comparison when your only choices are between ISDN and ADSL.

So the question than becomes this.

Which is better in the sense of connection speed and for Video conferencing between ISDN PRI (1.544Mbps) to ADSL (1.544Mbps)?

PRI ISDN T1 is the industrial strength flavor of ISDN, and is intended for users with much greater capacity requirements. PRI has 23 B channels plus one 64 Kbps D channel. Each channel has a 64Kbps capacity, enabling a total transmission speed of up to 1.536Mbps. With PRI ISDN, you can pre-define the number of channels used for specific types of calls or data delivery. What this means is that you can use the various channels for accomplishing different things on different channels simultaneously. In other words, PRI ISDN offers much greater flexibility than that provided by BRI ISDN. Additionally, the D channel is used as the switching channel that communicates with the Central Office for Call Management. It is used to carry local and long distance traffic.

An ADSL circuit connects an ADSL modem on each end of a twisted-pair telephone line, creating three information channels — a high speed downstream channel, a medium speed duplex channel, depending on the implementation of the ADSL architecture, and a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) or an ISDN channel. The POTS/ISDN channel is split off from the digital modem by filters, thus guaranteeing uninterrupted POTS/ISDN, even if ADSL fails. The high speed channel ranges from 1.5 to 6.1 Mbps, while duplex rates range from 16 to 832 kbps. Each channel can be submultiplexed to form multiple, lower rate channels, depending on the system.

ADSL modems provide data rates consistent with North American and European digital hierarchies and can be purchased with various speed ranges and capabilities. The minimum configuration provides 1.5 or 2.0 Mbps downstream and a 16 kbps duplex channel; others provide rates of 6.1 Mbps and 64 kbps duplex. Products with downstream rates up to 8 Mbps and duplex rates up to 640 kbps are available today. ADSL modems will accommodate ATM transport with variable rates and compensation for ATM overhead, as well as IP protocols.

Downstream data rates depend on a number of factors, including the length of the copper line, its wire gauge, presence of bridged taps, and cross-coupled interference. Line attenuation increases with line length and frequency, and decreases as wire diameter increases.

They are completely different technologies used for different things. With ADSL you are generally given Internet access and with a PRI you get 1472 kbps of usable bandwidth to be used in a combination of various ways. The key difference is that with a PRI, you never actually have to connect to the Internet as you do with DSL. Therefore, a video call doesn’t have to use IP as it most likely would with DSL. Therefore things that affect call quality like latency are generally not as a big a factor with ISDN.

Many companies still use ISDN PRIs for video conferencing to power multiple video calls simultaneously. A lot of people are now using both ISDN and Internet access via DSL/T1/T3/Cable/etc. for their video needs. Generally ADSL is far cheaper but the quality isn’t necessarily as good because the customer has little control over the path an IP call takes through the Internet, but that my friend is another conversation for another time.

Broadband can enter the home or office through either an ADSL connection or via a cable. An ADSL connection is provided by an ISP and connects with the Internet through a normal telephone line. A cable connection is provided by a cable company and a separate cable needs to be installed, through which phone, television, and broadband services are provided.

The ISP will usually supply their customers with a USB modem to go with their ADSL broadband connection. A USB modem allows a single USB equipped computer to access the Internet through the ADSL connection.

If the user wishes to connect more than one computer to the Internet through the ADSL connection at any one time, they will require an ADSL router.

An ADSL router is a device that connects two or more networks together. In this case the network of computers located within the home or office is connected to the Internet, which is the largest network in the world. The home or office network is a called a Local-Area Network (LAN), while the Internet or any outside network is called a Wide-Area Network (WAN).

An ADSL router is therefore used to connect multiple computers within a home or office network to a single broadband connection, which is used to access the Internet.

One of the most important additional features that can be added to an ADSL router is the ability to go wireless. An ADSL Wireless Router can provide the same networking ability as a normal ADSL router without the need for wires and cables running between the devices.

Instead of using cables, wireless devices connect to each other via radio waves through a device called an access point. An ADSL wireless router provides the access point necessary for the wireless network.

As well as acting as an access point, ADSL Wireless Routers have built-in modems to allow users to connect to the Internet directly through the phone line, without the need for a separate ADSL modem. In fact an ADSL wireless router contains a router, modem, switch, and an access point within the same device.

The router allows the devices to connect to the Internet, while the switch provides the ability to connect wired devices together, and the access point allows for the networking of wireless devices. Therefore an ADSL wireless router allows for the compilation of a network that can be either entirely wireless, entirely wired, or a mixture of both.

Devices that connect to the ADSL router through wires will require network cards. Devices that utilise the wireless capabilities will require a wireless network card in order to send and receive radio signals to the ADSL router via the access point.

Broadband internet access, also referred to high-speed internet access, provides businesses and consumers, internet access at considerably higher rates of speed than standard dial-up modems. Broadband does not simply pertain to one specific type of internet service or data transfer rate. Broadband is continually changing and developing, and it encompasses a wide range of technology including fibre optic cable, cable modems, Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), WLAN (wireless local area networks), and DSL (digital subscriber lines).

Digital Subscriber Lines, or “DSL,” uses the existing customer phone lines to provide internet or intranet access to businesses and homes using high-speed broadband technology of varying levels.

Broadband DSL works by connecting subscribers to a main broadband DSL access multiplexer. The broadband DSL multiplexer sends a signal from the broadband DSL customer phone line to a network, which then in turn connects the subscriber to the internet.

Broadband DSL use digital technology by compressing sizeable quantities of video, audio, and data into what is known as “bits.” The bits are transformed into graphics, text, and other information which are transferred at high rates of speed to business and home computers across the globe.

At the uppermost level, the two primary categories of DSL are asymmetric and symmetric. Residential broadband DSL typically uses asymmetric variations which include RADSL, UADSL/G.Lite, and ADSL. Data transfer rates are considerably slower upstream than downstream, so this type of broadband DSL, ADSL, is suitable for residential use where surfing the internet is the primary internet activity. Residential internet users generally have more
incoming than outgoing data.

Symmetric varieties of broadband DSL, SDSL, are IDSL and HDSL. These broadband DSL variants are suitable for most business applications. Upstream and downstream transfer rates are the same, making SDSL technology suitable for server hosting, video conferencing, LAN applications, file transfers, and email.

Many people fear Earthquakes, Hurricanes and Volcanoes, but the truth is that more people die in natural disasters from drowning than in any other way. We lost over 3,000 people in the Katrina Hurricane, not from winds or flying debris, but rather from drowning. The Hurricane in Mexico killed 3,000 in landslides and another killed nearly that many in Guatemala weeks later. We all know the Indonesia Tsunami, which killed almost 200,000 people.

Recently the very earliest reports of the mudslide in the Philippines in February the Red Cross estimated that 200 people dead even with over 1,500 missing in landslide. The death toll could easily be as high as 2500 local media reports said. In the last twenty-four months floods have killed people in over 138 countries and it is the number one cause of death from natural disasters. Mother Nature continually reminds us that we are merely guests living on the surface of the planet and are not in control.

When we plan for natural disasters and set up teams of first responders we must always consider the need for rescue boats, helicopter rescue and shelters, which are out of flood zones and well above sea level. When planning to help our citizens of the World in their time of need, which could easily be our time of need; we must be thinking of flooding and preventing the unnecessary loss of life from drowning. Consider this in 2006.
