On the surface, satellite broadband and wireless broadband seem to function in very similar ways. Satellite broadband is itself a type of wireless broadband connection. Satellite broadband serves the purpose of providing a wireless broadband connection to locations that otherwise would not have any way of accessing the Internet.
In order to function, a satellite broadband receiver must have clear line of site from its stationary position to the satellite orbiting above. This simply means that you cannot use satellite broadband networks successfully underground or even in certain indoor settings unless you take the appropriate steps. It is simply the satellite broadband receiver that requires the clear line of site, so if you have an antennae on the outside of a country home, you will be able to access the satellite broadband connection from anywhere inside the home just like any standard wireless broadband connection.
