VSAT Service

VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal it is a small-sized telecommunications earth station that transmits and receives via satellite. The terminal size is 0.75 to 3.8 meters in diameter. VSAT systems generally connect a large number of geographically dispersed sites to a central location.

VSAT networks may transmit voice, data, fax, or video conferencing. A typical VSAT site consists of a parabolic-shaped antenna mounted on the roof of a building, connected ...by a cable to a chassis inside the building. Operators install these antennas at customer sites and buy transmission capacity on satellites.

A typical VSAT unit contains a modem for translating satellite transmissions back into data (and vice versa) and terrestrial interfaces for connecting customer equipment.
