VSAT SALES PRESENTATION
2006
WHAT IS VSAT?
• Very Small Aperture Terminal, an earthbound station
used in satellite communications of data, voice and
video signals
• A VSAT consists of two parts, a transceiver that is
placed outdoors in direct line of sight to the satellite
and a device that is placed indoors to interface the
transceiver with the end user's communications
device, such as a PC
• The transceiver receives or sends a signal to a
satellite transponder in the sky. The satellite sends
and receives signals from a ground station computer
that acts as a hub for the system
WHAT IS VSAT?
• Each end user is interconnected with the hub station
via the satellite
• The hub controls the entire operation of the network.
For one end user to communicate with another, each
transmission has to first go to the hub station that
then retransmits it via the satellite to the other end
user's VSAT
