Information on Satellite Modem

In a satellite Internet connection, the satellite modem is in the customer's premises, and is used to encode signals sent to the ISP and decode signals received over the satellite from the ISP.
     Modem is a contraction of modulator/demodulator, which transforms a digital bit stream into an analogue signal (in the modulator), and vice versa (in the demodulator) so that the digital signal can be passed over an analogue channel.
