Direct access to the internet using direct two-way Broadband Internet ( BBI ) Satellite Interactive Terminal ( SIT ) is the future for all those people in areas where DSL, ADSL or cable modems are not possible.
Satellite Interactive Terminal (
SIT )
The Satellite Interactive Terminal
( SIT ) is simply a small satellite dish, similar to that for
satelite TV but with a RF (Radio Frequency) module in front that both receives (LNB=Low
Noise amplifier and Block down-converter) and transmits (BUC=Block
Up-Converter and high power amplifier).
Broadband Internet ( BBI )
The Broadband Internet ( BBI )
refers to the reception of a, typically, 27.5 Msym/sec carrier which provides
for fast download of web pages, MP3 audio and video etc.,
combined with a low bit rate transmit capability to allow
requests for web pages, mouse clicks, email messages etc to be
sent into the internet.
