In the past, the greatest hurtle for using VPN over a satellite connection was the loss of speed performance do to the high-latency nature of all satellite communication. Some VPN performance hits are so bad as to make it non-viable. Today many more VPN solutions have powerful latency workarounds and we recommend you speak with a Ground Control sales representative to confirm your VPN is satellite compatible. Please call 805-783-4600

Ground Control's premium iDirect satellite network is ideal for VPN because it comes close to the absolute minimum possible over satellite (476 milliseconds). Our iDirect network consistently has a latency between 500 to 650 milliseconds. Consumer grade satellite services are twice that figure (between 1000 to 1500 milliseconds). Lower latency = increased VPN performance.There is more than one kind of satellite network to run your VPN over. We have dedicated unshared networks, or shared networks, or a hybrid of the two where just the VPN can be routed through a dedicated channel, and all other traffic is shared. Ground Control can help you match the best network design to your performance requirements. Information on Dedicated / Hybrid Services. Information on Shared Services - Global Map.
