Overview
Farcast builds satellite internet hardware by developing advanced user terminals that connect end users to satellites. The terminals provide reliable, high-speed connectivity for homes, businesses, and moving platforms such as cars, planes, and ships. The terminals act as the last-mile interface, converting user data into signals the satellite network can route and vice versa to use the full capacity of existing satellite systems. The goal is to expand access to satellite broadband by delivering capable terminals that improve performance and support adoption in remote and mobile use cases.
