A: No. There are no satellites involved in Cintek's Wireless Internet system. Wireless Internet is what is called "terrestrial wireless" meaning that the radio signals are generated and transmitted within the earth's atmosphere. As a result, Wireless Internet does not suffer from the problems that satellite Internet access does, such as interferrence from snow on the antenna, or high latency due to the long distances that satellite radio signals have to travel between the earth and the orbiting satellite.
