QUESTION:
Is the dish transmission a danger?

ANSWER:
No. The transmission power from the DataStorm Dish is typically 1 Watt. Satellite Cell phones transmit 4 watts in comparison. There is a much greater danger using your daily cell phone...

 

QUESTION:
Can I be traveling down the road and be online at the same time?

ANSWER:
