Web page downloads, email, ftp file transfers and streaming video and audio are typically achieved with speeds up to several Mbit/s, using a share of a high bandwidth carrier from a large teleport hub. Teleport hubs are located in MENA and Europe.

Service providers have tariff options for various speeds and Mbytes per month. 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.

Below is my text summary for each satellite internet access service provider.  These are not paid-for adverts. Details of suggested companies are at my discretion and may be removed. Click on emails against all suitable coverage maps for current prices and to confirm technical details.

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 11/14 GHz operation. C band (4/6 GHz) needs generally larger customer antennas but suffers less from heavy rain fading in the tropics. Ka band refers to 20/30 GHz operation using high throughput satellites (HTS) with multiple small spot beams, providing lower cost, smaller dish access, but with higher risk of outage in high rainfall events.

Please e-mail me, Eric Johnston if you have problems with this page. This web page is intended to be helpful, it does not use flash, cookies, pop-ups or other nonsense.

The setting up and control of VSAT terminals is controlled from the teleport hub 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. Non-approved terminals require individual valuation and licensing. Import/export regulations restrict use of VSAT equipment in some countries.  Technical coverage areas do not imply that operation is allowed everywhere within the beam.  Country border lines are approximate.
