It’s more popular to ask why did the chicken cross the road but, in Ciudad Quesada, you are more likely to see cattle. More often known as San Carlos, the area is a major center for ranching including beef, dairy, leather goods, and other agricultural businesses. A thriving community that has most of the major services, #CiudadQuesada or #SanCarlos is a less touristy town but, a great place to live although a bit far from San José. Rich fertile soil with rolling hills and beautiful landscapes make it a wonderful place to call home. But what about staying connected on the Internet. Well, that’s another story.

Yes, there’s Internet in San Carlos, but it’s not everywhere and it’s not always consistent. This is a very good reason to consider the Internet via satellite. But what do we really know about it and is it available in the Ciudad Quesada, San Carlos area? The answer is yes and it is available right now.

Let’s get a grasp of how fast satellite Internet works and how can be a great alternative to traditional Internet service.

Why is this happening now?

The Internet service provider, Itellum and its founder Tim Foss had a vision; one that he expressed when the company received official approval as the first satellite Internet provider last year, “We are committed to closing the digital divide in Costa Rica and we want to be taken into account for the development of projects where it is impossible to deploy fiber optics, copper or coaxial cable and even where there is no coverage of 3G and 4G mobile networks.” The company has been “rolling out” Rural Satellite Internet throughout the country ever since.

How is this possible?

Itellum’s use of the HughesNet Jupiter2 Satellite using a Ka-band frequency, allows a higher bandwidth bringing High-Throughput Satellite Broadband to rural and remote areas that have limited connectivity or no Internet access at all. The signal is beamed from the satellite orbiting the earth directly to your satellite dish receiver.

When will it be available at my ranch?

Since Satellite Broadband Internet is beamed to you directly, there is no need to wait for the construction of a wired infrastructure. Sources such as DSL, Cable, and Fiber optics require a wired network to be physically installed in your area. With satellite Internet, all the necessary equipment is installed at your home or business and is only a phone call away. All you need is your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Does it take long to install?

Itellum’s experienced technicians perform professional, clean, installations efficiently the first time, bringing you the Fastest Satellite Internet Available in just a few hours. Your time is valuable. So, if you have a business or work from home, you will not suffer huge downtime.

What if we have a rainstorm?

We know that terrestrial Internet systems can fail during bad weather, but Reliable Satellite Internet and Broadband can weather the storm. New technologies make it resistant to “rain fade” and expert installations make High-Speed Satellite Internet free from outages caused by fallen poles and cables. This makes it an excellent system to use as a backup in case of failure of your primary Internet connection. It is also recovered quickly and is up and running in times of emergency.

All things considered, Costa Rica’s only High-Speed Satellite Internet provides a lot of benefits for the community. From streaming movies and music, to distance education for schools, video conferencing, and cloud storage for businesses, to the transfer of large files for medical facilities, Secure and Fast Satellite Services is paving the path to around-the-clock connectivity in every aspect of our lives.
