Ranching with Wildblue
All across the country are working ranches where you will find
cattle being herded, horses broken, fences mended, and a lot of
hard labor going on. Many of these working ranches are in
desolate locations with expansive land. This western lifestyle
is not only something that some people enjoy, but also something
necessary for the rest of us. Thanks to the cattle ranchers, we
have T-bones steaks to enjoy, horses to ride, and more. However,
many ranches are so isolated that making connection to the rest
of the world is difficult.
Obviously, a rancher needs to be able to contact labor, family,
friends, veterinarians, suppliers, emergency services, and more.
However, because of the isolated area, this is often not a
possibility, an expensive possibility, or a slow possibility.
Well, ranchers living in isolated places can continue running a
successful business while enjoying immediate connection to
anyone they need to get in touch with. The solution is Wildblue,
a new high-tech service that can create a connection from the
most remote location to anywhere around the globe.
This state-of-the-art Ka-band communications system has helped
people all over the country with this same problem. Using a
Telesat's Anik F2 satellite with 31 spot beams, ranchers in the
middle of the country can email family and friends or research
information. With this, ranchers have the option of searching
for better prices on supplies, locating horse auctions, or
purchasing cattle medication online and in a matter of minutes.
This particular satellite was actually built by Boeing and
launched by Arianespace.
Ranching is a lifestyle that requires hard work but sheer
enjoyment. Because of being in such a remote location, having a
connection to the outside world is imperative. Unfortunately,
ranching means an occasional accident. Having the ability to
gain information or contact someone immediately, is exactly what
Wildblue offers. In this case, should the normal veterinarian
not be available, having immediate internet connection provides
avenues to other help.
Using the Wildblue satellite, you can access the internet at
high speeds, opening up a world of information. If you have a
horse or some cattle to sell, you can post photographs with
written information so people can see for themselves what you
have to sell. As you can imagine, your business will continue
being successful and grow to staggering heights. However,
remember that Wildblue also opens up a world of entertainment.
With this, after a hard day of ranching, you could sit down and
enjoy streaming radio, download music, watch a movie, all with
lightning fast speed.
