It would allow for this. We're talking with two different satellite providers about what this would need to do. The biggest problem seems to be that the satellite connections are pretty good standalone systems, but they don't do a good job of making a WiFi station, what would be helpful is a self-powered router to connect to - and this is where the BRCK sits.

We recently ran a test of the BRCK up in the far northern reaches of Kenya, where the closest mobile phone tower was 160km away. The only option for internet was satellite, so we hooked up a BGAN terminal and ran that ethernet line into the BRCK to broadcast the signal as WiFi.
