Internet Satellite Providers have been offering the following services 
amongst others for some considerable time:  
Œ

  Downloads of videos, music, games, software etc. 

Œ

  Streaming downloads of music, films etc. 

Œ

  Downloads of individually requested data packets (file call-off)  

Œ

  Personal storage space with a capacity of up to several hundred MB 

Œ

  Offline messaging service for e-mails. 

As the different Internet Satellite Providers have different services and 
different procedures when transferring data from the Internet, we are only 
able to give a general description at this juncture.  

 

Depending on the chosen provider an Internet connection via satellite 
offers the following advantages:  

Œ

  Data transmission at 2 Mb per second (and higher) is considerably 

faster than with a normal Internet connection (for example 768 Kb per 
second with a standard DSL connection) and is thus particularly 
suitable for large quantities of data. The upper limit for the size of files 
that can be transferred is 700 MB depending upon the provider. 

Œ

  The telephone or modem connection (RDT connection) can be 

disconnected during the download, i.e. you save online time.  

Œ

  Downloads take place using a so-called Multicasting System, i.e. large 

files are transmitted simultaneously to several users at previously agreed 
times. You can therefore also benefit from downloads that other users 
have requested.  

Œ

  Data filtering is possible, i.e. you can restrict the information group and 

you only need to receive/store on your computer the data that you really 
want to have (Unicast System).
