Latency (also known as ping time) is the time it takes for a tiny bit of information to make a round trip (ie, from a computer to the Internet and back). Low latency reduces the length of the pause between talking parties over a satellite VoIP connection, among numerous other benefits. Ground Control's round-trip latency is just over half a second (500-650 milliseconds) which nearly eliminates the VoIP pause. Consumer providers, (as well as some business providers) have higher latency times that are over 1000 milliseconds. The theoretically fastest possible ping time over a geostationary satellite would be 476 milliseconds, or just under half a second.
