Satellite broadband and email via direct two-way customer dish terminals is now possible throughout Europe following a maturing of the technology and building of European VSAT teleport hub dishes. Fast web downloads, email, ftp file transfers and streaming video and audio are achieved with speeds of typically several hundred kbit/s, using a share of a high bandwidth outlink connection from a large hub station with a rate of more than 36 Msps (similar to a sat TV DVB-S). European satellite broadband capacity are generally shared.  Services for home and small office have higher sharing ratios, but are much lower cost than services for business where dedicated 1:1 CIR or low ratio sharing is the rule. Service providers have tariffs for various service maximum bit rates and amounts of Gbytes downloaded or uploaded. Email and internet web browsing are the usual intended use. For applications requiring substantial uploading of data or for real time two way video or VoIP ask about higher price options.

Astra 1H at 19.2 deg East Satellite Broadband Internet Access service.

UK, England, Wales, Scotland, France, Spain

The customer premise terminal or satellite interactive terminal or VSAT comprises a parabolic antenna dish, similar to satellite TV, together with an indoor satellite internet modem.   Ethernet cable connects to your PC or local LAN router, typically wireless.  Many local PCs may be connected.  The arrangement is suitable for both home use and for small office / internet cafe type applications. The radio modules on the front of the dish receive the out link (or downlink) using a conventional sat. television LNB (low noise block down converter) and transmit the return link (or uplink) data using an outdoor transmit block up converter (BUC). The wireless service is always-on direct access and not dependant on dial up or ADSL lines. The most recent outdoor equipments have the transmit and receive function integrated on one module called a TRIA (Transmit receive integrated assembly) The teleport hub dish is where the VSAT Operator and satellite ISP is located with a very high speed optic fibre digital backbone for worldwide networking connection.

Ku band refers to 11-12 and 14 GHz operation. C band (4/6 GHz) needs generally larger customer antennas but suffers less from heavy rain fading in the tropics. Ka band and small satellite spot beams is the most modern technology and used frequencies in the 20-30 GHz range.

This web site is simply intended to be helpful, it does not use pop-ups, flash or other nonsense. There may be errors on this page.  The setting up and control of satellite broadband VSATs in Europe using return channel system satellite interactive terminals is controlled from the hub providers so any problem sites can be switched off remotely until a technician attends. Also, the equipment design and frequency bands comply to Europe regulatory "type approval" for general use so that operation does not cause interference to other services or continue to require individual licence / licensing for VSAT internet access. Non-approved terminals will continue to require individual licensing.
