Middle East: Satellite Internet access
service providers

Middle East: Satellite Internet broadband digital access via two-way dish.

Middle East satellite internet coverage maps showing beam contours.

Internet via satellite browsing and email access connection via direct two-way interactive transmit-receive customer premise terminals (CPT) is now possible following a maturing of the technology and building of large hub dish stations in all the satellite broadband beam coverage areas.

Fast web page 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 connection from a large hub station with a rate of up to 36 Msym/s (like digital sat TV DVB-S signal).

Upload, return path, rates are generally less than 32 k, but may be up to 1024 k if required.

Internet via satellite broadband capacity is shared and when many customers are active together there is a reduction in bit rates.

Service providers have tariff options for various qualities of service. Email and internet web browsing are the usual intended use. For applications requiring substantial uploading of data or for real time both way video or VoIP ask about higher price options and feasibility.

The customer VSAT terminal comprises a parabolic antenna dish, similar to satTV, together with an indoor modem box unit. Ethernet cable links one or more local PCs. You may normally add wired or wireless router to connect many PCs or VoIP phones. The arrangement is suitable for both home use and for small office applications. If you want to connect many IP devices you will need a higher capacity tariff or lower sharing ratio - otherwise your link will be congested.

The outdoor radio modules on the front of the dish receive the outlink (or downlink) using a conventional satellite television LNB (low noise block downconverter) and transmit the return link (or uplink) data to the satellite using a transmit block up-converter (BUC). The wireless service is always-on direct access and not dependant on dial up or ADSL lines.

The large teleport hub station is where the VSAT Operator and ISP providers are located with a high speed digital backbone for worldwide networking connectivity.

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.

The setting up and control of broadband internet ( BBI ) return channel system ( RCS ) satellite interactive terminals ( SIT ) is controlled from the main station so any problem sites can be switched off remotely until a technician attends. Also, the equipment design and frequency bands comply to international regulatory "type approval" for general use so that operation does not cause interference to other services or continue to require individual licence / licensing for satellite internet access. Non-approved terminals will continue to require individual licensing. * Please note that export of ViaSat LinkStar to Iran is not allowed. Technical coverage areas do not imply that operation is allowed everywhere within the beam. Country border lines are approximate.
