I have never taken accurate measurements but at best the latency can be
nearly non existent but at worst it cant be 2 or 3 seconds. As I said we
spent some time with the users and explained the latency and why it occurs.
Remember our users our Drillers and not office/clerical staff and the
expected thing to happen as soon as they click the mouse but now they work
with it very efficiently.
Our provider is Telstra here in Australia, but the supply through AsisaSat,
using the AsisaSat 3 satellite on KU band

What kind of latency do you see? What satellite provider do you use?

Hi Matt,
I have 4 installations of 2 way satellite on oil rigs in remote locations in
Australia. Although there is a latency issue with some user education we are
finding it a great way to connect into our server farm.
Our facts are
2 computers per rig, they use the internet to connect to our Citrix XP
server farm via MSam and we publish a complete desktop so that the users
have full Microsoft suite, email, and accounting software.

I have a customer site a rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where
I have real dilemma.
The not-so-pretty facts:
1) No DSL or Cable provider
2) No local dialup or ISDN internet service
There are 3.5 (1 is part-time) users at this site who use a Citrix published
desktop (they run primarily MS Office and a custom client/server app). I
ended up going with a 56K frame relay circuit. This is proving to be very
slow and expensive (now appx $700 USD/month).
I have heard that 2 way satellite latency is just too high for Citrix
applications. Is that still the case? Any technology or options that I
haven't considered worth looking at?
Thanks in advance for assistance.
