What about the VOIP offerings that some sat isps offer? One company offers "CIR is $5/per Kbps", so an extra $150 per month for 30Kbps? I wonder if that would work for RDP. Or maybe something like this http://www.mobilsat.com/satellite-VPNVirtualprivatenetworking/ could be used? I need to call them and find out. Or maybe we need to move away from Terminal Server and go with something else. I am liking the idea of peersync for data files, and a web based application for our main app.

You're NOT gonna like RDP over VSAT. VSAT is high latency, minimum 600ms or more as you have to roundtrip 100,000 miles to see the result of a keypress ( sync satellites are 23,000 to 26,000 miles up in orbit ) I used to work for a retail operation with VSAT, and we ended up putting in DSL also for Terminal Server access to payroll applications as they were simply painful to use over satellite. Do you have any cell coverage at all at the site ? Better off with EVDO or even connection to cellphone as a modem Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security -----Original Message----- From: Gene Giannamore [mailto:gene.giannam...@abideinternational.com] Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 6:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Mobile Satellite for Internet access We have a need for a semi-mobile satellite setup at a remote construction site. Basically because of theft, we need to lock up the equipment at night (even then it might get stolen). So we hope we can find some equipment we can setup each day for internet access, mainly to access our terminal server via RDP. Maybe put it on a cart along with a wireless router, or plug the Ethernet cable into the trailer (if we can wire the trailer). I have found several companies that provide this service. Wondering about people's experience with this. Thx. Gene Giannamore Abide International Inc.
