The Satellite Inc. is developing a network of comfortable, connected, professional office and workspace centers in community commercial districts — for everyone from telecommuters to home-based businesses to consultants and start ups.
Remote tech tools enable people to work anywhere — but the reality is that so many are struggling to work in coffee shops or dealing with the distractions and isolation of working at home.
Satellites offer a mix of private offices, workstations, meeting and café space, mail services, print/scan/copy facilities and videoconferencing — available 24/7 to members and during the working day for non-members. Each Satellite includes high-speed broadband Internet, ergonomic seating, community events, VoiP phone plans, computer and admin support and free coffee.
Different membership offerings and the Satellite’s unique technology enable people to have just what they need, whether they want a full-time office or just a professional business address, a place to drop into with a laptop or to make conference calls, somewhere to meet clients for an hour here or there, a meeting space for community activities or regular classes, help with a powerpoint, or a workstation for a few days every week.
Satellites help companies reduce facility costs, reduce attrition and absenteeism, meet environmental goals and have the flexibility to open in new regions without the hassle of long term leases. They help individuals work close to home, but away from the distractions and isolation of working at home. And Satellites benefit communities, through avoided commutes (and gridlocked roads and emissions) while increasing activity to local coffee shops, restaurants and stores.
