Answer: C - If wireless connectivity between different locations is to take place via satellite links, they must be within the satellite’s line of sight and footprint. The sender of information modulates the data onto a radio signal that is transmitted to the satellite. The transponder on the satellite receivers this signal, amplifies it, and relays it to the receiver. Satellites provide broadband transmission by antenna and the available bandwidth depends upon the antenna and terminal type and the service provided by the service provider. Time-sensitive applications can suffer from the delays experienced as the data go to and from the satellite.
