How does our technology work?

Exede links your computer to the Internet with a high-speed connection through our high capacity satellite. A small 30 inch satellite dish, about the same size as a satellite TV dish, and an Exede modem are all you need. We provide the equipment and our nationwide team of certified professionals will install the service at your home for free.**

Nothing beats trying new Exede service yourself. You can take the service for a test drive at a local dealer near you. Here’s a 3-minute demonstration of our 12 Mbps service so you can see how fast it really is. View more demos of our service on our YouTube channel.

Here’s a diagram showing how the whole thing works:

1. Your computer and the Exede modem.
You may connect your computer directly to the Exede modem with an Ethernet cable (included). Better yet, connect a wireless router to create your own local wireless network, enabling you to connect multiple computers, tablets, smart phones and other wireless devices to your Exede service.

2. The Exede dish.
Our dish receives signals from and transmits signals to the satellite. It’s about the same size as satellite TV dishes, and can be mounted to the outside of your house, on the roof, or on a pole on your property. Standard installation is free.**

3. Exede satellite
Located in geostationary orbit 22,000 miles above the equator, our satellite provides an efficient, effective method to provide high speed Internet service to the U.S. using spot beam technology. The main purpose of the satellite is to relay signals from your home to our gateways, and back again. 

4. Exede gateways
Our gateways are located throughout North America. The gateway receives the signal from the satellite and connects it to the Internet, and transmits the data from the Internet back up to the satellite.

5. The Internet
Everything on the Internet that’s available via a wired connection is also available through Exede satellite Internet service. You will now be able to browse the web super fast, download music and movies, share photos and video chat with friends and family, and much, much more.
