The need for speed

In today’s high-paced society, Internet users want their content immediately. In addition, high-bandwidth technologies such as streaming media are becoming increasingly important to Web users. Content providers need to ensure they have the speed and capacity to deliver what end users want. Methods to resolve these bandwidth issues and eliminate content bottlenecks are critical. Many bandwidth shortages can be eliminated through satellites, thereby increasing the delivery speed. Satellites speed up Internet content delivery in four ways: single-hop delivery, pushing content close to source and end users, efficient point-to-multipoint distribution, and reliable multicast transmission. This session combines information on current bandwidth issues with a discussion of satellite solutions.
