About Us
At Frank’s Satellite Services, we believe where you live should never decide whether you can stay connected. Since 2004, we have helped rural homeowners, families, and businesses find dependable internet solutions across Santa Fe and surrounding New Mexico communities. Our owner, Frank, entered the satellite industry in 2000 and built this company around affordability, reliability, and personal service. Today, we provide satellite internet, Starlink system support, internet solutions, and hands-on local assistance for customers who are too often overlooked by large national providers.
Our Story Started With Four Years in the Field
Before starting Frank’s Satellite Services, Frank spent four years working for another company in the satellite communications industry. That experience taught him how the technology worked, but it also showed him where customers were being underserved, especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas.
Too many families had limited options, slow service, or no practical internet access at all. When problems happened, they often struggled to reach anyone who understood their equipment, location, or situation.
Frank believed rural customers deserved better. In 2004, he took the experience he had gained since entering the industry in 2000 and launched a locally owned company built specifically around dependable service, direct communication, and long-term customer relationships.
Why Rural Internet Matters to Us
Internet access is no longer a luxury. Families use it for work, school, telehealth, banking, entertainment, communication, shopping, and nearly every other part of daily life.
In rural communities, getting connected can still be unnecessarily difficult. Large providers may focus on densely populated neighborhoods where installations are easier and the number of potential customers is higher.
Our mission is to help close that gap. We work with people who live beyond the reach of traditional service areas and need a practical way to bring reliable internet to their homes, properties, and businesses. We believe rural communities should have access to modern technology without feeling ignored. Providing affordable internet in remote areas is not simply part of our service list. It is the reason our company exists.
Locally Owned Means You Know Who to Call
One of the biggest differences between our company and a large corporation is that our customers know exactly who is responsible for their service. Frank remains personally involved and gives clients a direct phone line for questions, concerns, and equipment issues.
You do not have to explain your situation to a new representative every time you call. You are speaking with someone who understands the system, remembers the installation, and knows the challenges that come with serving rural properties.
That personal access creates accountability. When customers contact us, they are not disappearing into a national support queue or waiting for a distant call center to read from a script. We value straightforward conversations, practical answers, and solutions that reflect the customer’s actual location. Local service should feel local, and we work hard to make sure it does.
More Than Two Decades of Industry Experience
Frank has worked in satellite communications since 2000 and has operated Frank’s Satellite Services since 2004. That gives our company more than two decades of firsthand experience with changing internet technologies, equipment, installation methods, and customer needs.
The industry has evolved considerably during that time. Satellite systems have become faster, equipment has grown more advanced, and new options such as Starlink and expanding networks have changed what is possible in remote communities.
Our experience allows us to evaluate those developments without losing sight of the basics. A system still needs to be installed correctly, positioned carefully, maintained properly, and matched to the customer’s needs. Technology may change, but good service still depends on patience, knowledge, and follow-through. Those qualities have guided our work from the beginning.
Satellite Solutions Built for Remote Properties
Satellite internet remains an important option for properties where traditional wired connections are unavailable or impractical. It can provide connectivity in areas where cable infrastructure may not reach.
We help customers understand what satellite service can realistically provide based on location, equipment, property conditions, and intended use. Our goal is not to oversell a system. It is to help you choose an option that makes sense.
Remote installations can require careful planning. Trees, rooflines, terrain, access points, weather exposure, and the available view of the sky may all influence equipment placement and performance. Our years in the field help us identify these details early. We approach every installation as a property-specific project rather than assuming the same setup will work everywhere.
Specialized Starlink System Support
Starlink has created new opportunities for rural homeowners and businesses seeking faster internet in areas with limited infrastructure. We specialize in helping customers install and set up Starlink systems for strong, dependable everyday use. Proper placement is essential. Even advanced equipment can experience interruptions when trees, structures, or other obstructions block the necessary view of the sky.
We consider mounting location, cable routing, equipment protection, and the layout of the property before completing the setup. The goal is to create an installation that performs well without leaving behind careless wiring or poorly positioned equipment. Our support also gives local customers someone nearby to contact when questions arise. You do not have to figure out every installation challenge alone or rely entirely on online instructions.
Bringing High-Speed Internet to Communities
Our internet can provide exceptional speed and reliability where infrastructure is available. We are proud to support affordable high-speed internet solutions that help communities gain better access to modern connectivity. Expanding internet service into rural areas can transform how people work, learn, communicate, and operate businesses. It can also make communities more attractive to families and professionals who need dependable online access.
We help customers explore the options available for their area and understand how our internet options differ from typical service. Each technology has its place, and the right choice depends on availability, location, budget, and performance needs. Our role is to simplify the process. We want customers to understand what they are purchasing and feel confident that the solution will support their daily lives.
Affordable Service Without Corporate Overhead
Affordability has been part of our purpose since the company began. Rural customers should not be forced to pay unreasonable prices simply because their property is harder to reach.
As a locally owned and operated business, we maintain a focused operation and avoid many of the layers associated with large national providers. That allows us to keep our service personal and our pricing practical.

We explain the expected costs before work begins and help customers understand what is included. Clear communication makes it easier to plan and prevents avoidable surprises.
We do not believe affordability should come at the cost of care. Our goal is to provide strong value through experienced installation, reliable equipment support, honest advice, and direct access to someone who stands behind the work.
Serving the Customers Others Overlook
Many of our customers are rural homeowners and families who have spent years dealing with limited options. Some have been told that traditional providers will not service their address, while others have struggled with equipment that was not installed for their property’s conditions.
We also assist small businesses, remote workers, property owners, and community members who need stable connectivity to manage important responsibilities. Their internet connection may affect income, education, safety, or access to essential services.

These customers are not secondary to us. They are the center of our work. We understand the frustration that comes from being outside a major provider’s preferred service area. Our company was built to serve those overlooked locations with the same attention and respect every customer deserves.
Honest Guidance Instead of Empty Guarantees
Internet performance can be affected by many factors, including the technology being used, network conditions, weather, equipment placement, signal obstructions, and the service provider’s infrastructure. For that reason, we do not make unrealistic guarantees.
What we do offer is a clear promise of quality service and genuine care. We will evaluate your situation honestly, explain what is possible, and perform our work with attention to detail.

If a particular option is not appropriate for your property, we would rather tell you that upfront than sell you something unlikely to meet your expectations. Trust is built when recommendations are based on the customer’s needs instead of the easiest sale. That honest approach has helped us maintain long-term relationships for more than two decades.
Support That Continues After Installation
A successful installation should not be the end of the relationship. Equipment may need adjustments, technology may change, and customers may have questions once they begin using the service.
Because we are local, our clients have a familiar point of contact for maintenance and troubleshooting. They do not have to start from the beginning with an unfamiliar support representative every time they need help.

Frank’s direct involvement means questions are handled by someone with real installation experience. That can make it easier to identify the problem and determine the most practical next step. We cannot control every network or equipment issue, but we can promise to listen, communicate clearly, and treat your concern like it matters.
Growing Without Losing Our Personal Approach
Our vision is to grow Frank’s Satellite Services into a team of 10 installers supported by a dedicated local office. That growth would allow us to reach more rural customers while responding more efficiently to installation and maintenance needs.
Expansion does not mean becoming a distant corporation. We want to build a larger local team while preserving the values that made customers trust us in the first place.

Every future installer will be expected to respect the customer’s property, communicate honestly, perform clean work, and take responsibility for the quality of the installation. Our goal is not growth for its own sake. We want to expand because more communities need reliable connectivity and local support from people who understand rural New Mexico.
Our Promise to Every Customer
We promise to approach every project with honesty, experience, and care. We will listen to what you need, evaluate the available options, and help you choose a practical solution for your property.
We also promise to respect your time and communicate clearly. Internet service can already feel confusing, so we do not want the installation process to make it more stressful.

Our work is grounded in personal responsibility. When you contact Frank’s Satellite Services, you are working with a local business that has served customers since 2004 and intends to remain part of the community for years to come. Reliable connectivity begins with reliable people. That is the standard we continue to set for ourselves.
