Why satellite?

Satellite is not just the means to broadcast and receive thousands of TV channels. It is currently the most viable alternative to terrestrial telecommunications and has many key advantages and unique features over the terrestrial alternatives:

Timely Deployment and Installation

Satellite networks can be rolled out to hundreds or thousands of locations in a fraction of the time required for a comparable terrestrial network. A standard single location install can usually be preformed within ten days.  A network of a hundred sites can be completed in as little as 30 days. 

High performance

Leveraging the reach and power of satellite, two-way satellite platforms can provide high-performance networking and telephony between a central hub and potentially thousands of locations across a wide geographical area and at speeds normally associated with global trunking. With VSAT Systems’ unique quality of service management tools and policies we are able to ensure the highest quality and performance on our shared networks.

Secure and Reliable

Inherently secure and ideal for private enterprise, government or armed forces, satellite communications uses access schemes that change in both frequency and time. These techniques are commonly employed in military applications as anti-jamming measures. Security measures also protect the user’s identity; including exact location. Additional IPSec provides confidentiality, data origin authentication, data integrity, anti-replay and access control. Reliability comes as standard as satellites are multi-billion dollar investments that are designed for a long life in space.

Disaster recovery

The ready to expand and deploy configuration of our HUB and with remote end user equipment ready to ship we are able to offer multiple options for disaster recovery communications and back-up of individual sites when needed. 

Ubiquitous Coverage

Available at all of your locations with a clear view of the southern sky. VSAT Systems customers are currently operating our VSATs in ever State in the US and every Country in North and Central America. Satellite is the only broadband wide-area network technology that is available everywhere – in cities, suburbs and the most remote urban and rural areas, anywhere in the world.

Scalability

Two-way satellite solutions can replace, extend or complement your communications networks. Designed to grow with your business.  You can migrate to a fully customized, private WAN without changing your remote site hardware. Satellite networks are much less costly to deploy, maintain and operate than terrestrial alternatives. Terrestrial networks typically require heavy infrastructure for broadband data networks (such as DSL, ISDN and cable). High overhead costs for these infrastructures are passed on to the end users. Often in remote areas the expense of building such a network is cost prohibitive.

Multicast Content Distribution

To send a file to 1,000 recipients over a terrestrial network requires sending 1,000 separate and identical messages, each of which consumes valuable bandwidth and server resources. They are also likely to arrive at different locations at different times. Conversely, VSAT Systems Satellite IP multicasting, can simultaneously deliver content to a virtually unlimited number of end-user locations — at speeds of up to 14 Mbps. Satellite is unique in its ability to deliver broadcast and multicast data and is the only choice for the distribution of video and high-bandwidth content.

Range of services

Whether you need broadband Internet Access, remote access to corporate offices, customized network solutions, backup services to complement terrestrial infrastructure or one of our transportable solutions, VSAT Systems can deliver you a service that will meet your needs.
