    Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a two-way satellite ground station with an antenna less than 2.4m in diameter. It uses star or mesh topologies to transmit data over satellite at rates from 56 Kbps to 4 Mbps. A VSAT system consists of an antenna, block upconverter, low-noise block downconverter, and indoor unit. VSAT networks offer reliable, remote communications for applications like retail shops, hotels, and manufacturing at a lower cost than leased lines.

    The key takeaways are that VSAT is a satellite communication system using small antennas, it can provide connectivity to remote areas, and has applications in various industries like banking, retail, etc.

    VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal. It is a two-way satellite ground station with an antenna diameter of less than 2.4m that is used to transmit narrowband data via satellite.

    The different VSAT network topologies are star, mesh, and a combination of both. A star topology uses a central uplink site, mesh allows terminals to relay data, and a combination minimizes costs and data relay load.

    CONFIGURATION

    A star topology, using a central uplink site, such as a network operations


    center (NOC), to transport data back and forth to each VSAT terminal
    via satellite.

    A mesh topology, where each VSAT terminal relays data via satellite to
    another terminal by acting as a hub, minimizing the need for a
    centralized uplink site.

    A combination of both star and mesh topologies.


    These configurations are utilized to minimize the overall cost of the
    network, and to alleviate the amount of data that has to be relayed
    through a central uplink site (or sites) of a star or multi-star network.

    CHARACTERISTICS OF VSAT SYSTEMS


    Reliable Communications
    VSAT satellite communications provide virtually error-free digital data
    communications and better than 99.9% network reliability.

    Remote Communications
    No matter how remote or dispersed your operations are, VSAT provide a
    link to your headquarters. VSAT can provide remote diagnostics, remote
    monitoring, and data streaming services from remote or hazardous sites.

    Time
    VSAT deployment takes no more than 4-6 weeks as compared to 4 to 6
    months for leased lines.

    CHARACTERISTICS OF VSAT SYSTEMS

    Network Management :Network monitoring and control of the entire VSAT network
    is much simpler than a network of leased lines, involving multiple carriers at
    multiple locations. A much smaller number of elements needs to be monitored
    incase of a VSAT network and also the number of vendors and carriers involved in
    between any two user terminals in a VSAT network is typically one.

    Maintenance: A single point contact for operation, maintenance, rapid fault isolation
    and trouble shooting makes things very simple for a client, using VSAT services

    Flexibility: VSAT networks offer enormous expansion capabilities. VSAT can be


    rapidly installed to support the network expansion to any site, no matter however
    remote.

    Cost : A comparison of costs between a VSAT network and a leased line network
    reveals that a VSAT network offers significant savings over a two to three years
    timeframe.
