VSAT
What is VSat? VSAT is a way of providing better
connectivity to the internet or for private satellite communications
networks in areas where there are unreliable communication
networks. Depending on bandwidth requirement (data speed and/or communications
channels) VSAT systems can be relatively small (1 to 2.4 meter antenna)
and easily installed. By linking VSAT terminals to larger hub stations
(or land earth stations) a wireless
network can be established at relatively low cost.
How does VSat work? A VSAT is a small fixed or
mobile system which provides a communication link to a satellite
which can handle data traffic. Depending on which satellite is used, the signal
will be transmitted to a particular earth station with a direct link to
an Internet backbone. This means that even in countries which have no direct
access to these backbones (like many African countries) a one-stop (one hop in
technical terms) connection to the main data routes of the Internet can be established. VSAT
systems offer value-added satellite-based services capable of supporting
the Internet, data, LAN, voice/fax communications and can provide powerful,
dependable, private and public network communications solutions. A VSAT has
certain clear advantages over leased lines and other wireless
communications media as it is less sensitive to physical damage like cable theft,
breakages and lightening/surge.
SatComms offers Local and International VSat: Local Can be used anywhere in South Africa eliminating local network issues like stolen cables, faulty lines or poor 3G signal. What you get
International

What you get:
*What is a Contention Ratio? Contention ratio is the sharing of a pool of bandwidth with other users on the same network. The benefits are a lower price and the advantage of having access to a greater share of the bandwidth when the other users are not on the network We also offer Dedicated Bandwidth
solutions.
What is the difference between a Shared bandwidth and Dedicated bandwidth solution. Shared Bandwidth
Shared Bandwidth packages
are tailored to provide shared, premium internet connectivity to sites
regardless of their location and the terrestrial infrastructure available -
anytime, anywhere.
The service is optimised for web
navigation. The service can also be used with other Internet standard
applications such as e-mail, fast file transfer and download.
The comprehensive service includes
space segment and high-speed, bi-directional internet access for a fixed
monthly subscription. Several off-the-shelf packages are available depending on
bandwidth capacity needs, the number of PCs connected and application needs.
The equipment used to receive the
service consists of a fixed, small antenna and an indoor modem which can be
connected to a local area network or used in combination with other
technologies such as WI-FI etc.
Key benefits World-wide availability - Independent of terrestrial infrastructures. Rapid deployment - Any site within the satellite coverage can be connected to the network quickly. Cost effective and reliable solution. High-level of backbone connectivity
Dedicated Bandwidth Dedicated Bandwidth is a
reliable, flexible and high-performance two-way satellite solution offering dedicated
and guaranteed bandwidth designed specifically to your company's or closed user
group's requirements allowing you to service your enterprise sites or to create
virtual private networks.
A tailored solution The service is tailored to customers' needs and capacity requirements.
The main advantage of dedicated bandwidth is its flexibility.
Customers can define their own contention ratio and quality of service
parameters for sub-groups within fixed capacity contract purchased.
Prioritisation can also be done by protocol, IP address, etc. Worldwide availability - Independent
of terrestrial infrastructures.
Rapid deployment - Any site within
the satellite footprint can be connected to the network quickly.
Cost effective solution.
Guaranteed quality of service.
Efficient and flexible use of
bandwidth - the bandwidth can be dynamically shared among
closed-user network points.
Service provider customisation - can
be tailored to client's specific requirements.
High-level of backbone connectivity.
