Is internet connection on ships via satellite?

I am pretty sure they have a satellite connection for internet.

Thanks, *******...I thought I recalled that info from a cruise we'd taken, but we never used ithe internet while aboard.  I do know that Jet Blue uses satellite for inflight TV reception.

Yes and if they could have a satellite connection so could others including the Gottenbos

So you could be on a computer and still be 3 miles out on a boat. MOO

Yep.  Not saying they did but it's very possible.

Low Cost Internet Access At Sea


Up- and down-link antennas. (Credits: Wired Ocean Ltd.)ScienceDaily (Apr. 24, 2006) — Through a project supported by the European Space Agency, the UK-based company Wired Ocean Ltd can now provide enhanced Internet access for ships at sea at a much lower cost than was previously possible.

Although satellite links at sea are quite common, the speed of data transmission for most users is very low, from 600 bps to 64 kbps, with around 10 kbps being a typical speed. This, combined with usage costs of around € 20 per megabyte, has created an environment in which many ship owners cannot reliably access the Internet, or use it regularly.

Venezuelans set new WiFi distance record: 237 miles

It's been a while since we've seen people muck around with long-distance WiFi -- not only are DIY solutions like cantennas possibly illegal, sexier technologies like WiMAX have emerged to better serve those long-distance IP needs. WiFi's flame burns on in Latin America, however, where researcher Ermanno Pietrosemoli has managed to shoot an 802.11 signal 382 kilometers (237 miles) between two mountains in the Venezuelan Andes. Pietrosemoli, who is president of Latin American networking association Escuela Latinoamerica de Redes, used some of Intel's long-range WiFi tech and $60 worth of Linksys hardware to achieve throughput of 3 Mbps in each direction and beat the former record of 310 kilometers (192 miles). Pietrosemoli hopes to use the tech to serve developing nations, but seeing as we barely get 3 Mbps in our WiFi-choked apartment building with the laptop sitting next to the router, we're hoping he lets us in on the secret as well.

Hi Vicki - I have alot of work to do today but I'll leave your request for CBB ok?  She does much better work than I do anyway on the avatars.

Hi everyone! It's my lunch break so I jumped on.  I didn't get a chance to get on last night.  John told me the satellite was out on the boat from the storm.  They were docked this morning trying to fix it.  Now that the internet connection is up, I am assuming it is fixed...

In answer to the Grid question.  I asked John specifically about it this morning.  He couldn't give me a length on each grid in that the way they are set up they overlap.  He said the approximate total of the grids is over 50 miles.... The third grid being an approximate 23 miles... They were still in grid 2 last time I asked.

Anyway, Pearlin is oh so right in that we have to have Patience! This process is not exactly made for speed!
Hope this helps.  Oh, and I am sure very soon Kyle will update the blog so keep a lookout!

I think to the South American drug culture communication
technology is very important.  They stay abreast of the
latest and best and most secure methods of communication.
It is an important part of their business to stay one step
ahead of the norm and they have people who work specifically
at that aspect of the business.

Do you know how to get the avatar up and going Vicki? I can't do it for you, but Klaas can and there are instructions to add an avatar in the Monkey Lounge.
