Enterprise WildBlue Equipment and Specifications

Enterprise WildBlue utilizes a very small satellite dish. The satellite dish measures only 28" X 26", is elliptical in shape, and is paired with both a satellite transmitter and receiver for two-way satellite Internet connectivity.

Enterprise WildBlue uses standardized modem technology based on the DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) cable modem standards to offer a low-cost, small satellite modem. No phone lines or cable lines are needed to receive service.

Equipment specifications on the dish and modems are as follows.

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. WildBlue provides professional installation of the WildBlue equipment which will take approximately 2-3 hours. Wildblue offers a limited warranty on equipment.
