Which type of internet connection would be BEST suited for a rural business location with limited access to wired infrastructure, but requires a high-speed connection with relatively low latency?
Satellite internet connections provide accessibility in remote and rural areas where other wired infrastructures are not feasible. However, traditionally, they have higher latency due to the distance signals must travel. Fiber offers high speeds and low latency but is typically not available in remote rural areas. DSL provides wider availability but is limited by distance from the central office and typically offers lower speed. Among the options, a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) often represents the best balance of high-speed connectivity and lower latency suitable for rural locations, as it doesn't require extensive wired infrastructure and can operate over large distances with acceptable performance.
