Advantage of satellite data system - Fewer outages

From INVESaTWIKI

Fewer outages

With no underground cables to cut with a backhoe, no aerial cables to knock down with ice or tree branches and no intermediate switches and handoff points between providers, satellite systems have excellent availability (uptime). With fewer outages, especially unplanned outages, productivity rises and the users' confidence in the network remains high. [1]
