What is WildBlue

Access to the Internet is becoming more important every day.  Most task like simple e-mail to complex banking transactions now require high speed connections.  For some people, high speed just isn't available due to geography or rural lifestyles.  Phone companies just aren't willing to build their broadband into areas unless large population centers exist there.  Then of course they wouldn't be rural would they?

The Internet

Accessing the Internet at high-speeds opens up a WildBlue world full of information and entertainment. You will now be able to surf the Web at lightning-fast speeds, download music and movies, share photos with friends and family, and much, much more.

WildBlue Gateways

WildBlue has 5 gateways located throughout the U.S. and Canada that efficiently connect WildBlue’s satellite access network with the Internet. Each gateway consists of microwave, Internet, and other broadband equipment that quickly and efficiently route traffic from the customer’s PC to the Internet and back. WildBlue connects the gateways to the Internet via a state-of-the-art fiber backbone.

WildBlue Satellite

WildBlue has designed a state-of-the-art Ka-band communications system aboard Telesat’s Anik F2 satellite that covers the contiguous U.S. with 31 spot beams. Built by Boeing and launched by Arianespace, the Anik F2 satellite is one of the largest commercial satellites ever manufactured, and is in a geostationary orbit 22,500 miles above the equator at 111.1° West Longitude. WildBlue chose the 20/30 GHz Ka-band frequencies and a spot-beam architecture as the most efficient and effective technology platform to offer broadband via satellite. WildBlue’s advanced technology and low cost structure allows us to offer consumers and small office customers higher speeds and lower prices than other satellite broadband companies.

WildBlue’s satellite technology allows us to modify various parameters of the earth-to-space signals on an individual user basis so as to adapt in real time to each user’s situation, which may change due to weather and other factors.


WildBlue Minidish

WildBlue’s minidish (28” x 26”) both receives signals from the WildBlue satellite, and sends signals from the customer up to the satellite. Using the latest microwave receive and transmit technologies, WildBlue offers a small, efficient minidish which can be mounted on a roof, wall or via pole mount in the ground. Chapel will provide your WildBlue  professional installation of the WildBlue equipment which will take approximately 2-3 hours.
