Yeah, wireless is super fast, satellite is the one with latency (and usually then due to dial-up uplink and just the distance of the sats). Most p2p links are under 50 miles, and in this case probably under 5 miles. The latency from the wireless link will be a negligible (for those not in HFT) overhead on the order of a few ms.
