I'm curious how that connection to a sat net works with a normal consumer laptop. Or do you have some fancy General Dyn laptop?

No satellite service is mentioned in the GP comment. I expect they're just using a fixed 4G modem that has Wi-Fi.

Satellite services also generally consist of a box with a couple of LNB connectors on one end and an Ethernet socket on the other end that you'd run to a Wi-Fi router.

The likelihood you'll ever find a direct-wired satellite link built-in to one machine, outside of a ridiculou$ly-expen$ive military setting running equipment based of 15-year-old designs, is about 0.05%.
