Global Teleports (UK) Limited - Vipersat hub

Roger Boddy and I have worked on satellite communications system planning and operations for many years.  He has his own teleport site just north of London at Brookmans Park, with room for 4 large dishes and has one 9.4m diameter Ku band dish with a Vipersat VSAT hub gateway available for use since January 2005. Contact: roger@globalteleports.com.

If you want a new UK satellite broadband or SCPC (dedicated carrier) network using Comtech Vipersat technology talk to Roger.  Your network will be hubbed in the UK but the operational coverage area could be anywhere from the Moscow, Middle East and Africa to North and South America, including Satellite internet in the Caribbean, Central and South America, France and Germany, Europe or UK, according to choice of satellite and transponder cross-strap used.  Mesh networking (direct links between pairs of remote sites) is possible and can be provided while maintaining management of the remote equipment detailed set up parameters from the hub.

Vipersat is technically sound and, in my opinion, is a good bet for the future along with iDirect and ViaSat LinkStar.  As with all VSAT internet hubs, performance depends more on the skill of the operators in managing the traffic rather then the technical merits of the equipment.  You can mess up any system by overloading it or not reading the handbooks!

Networks can be designed to suit particular needs.  For example, a customer may buy a particular satellite bandwidth capacity (e.g. 256k down and 128k up) and then have as few or as many terminals as they want sharing the one monthly cost.    Another concept is CCTV camera image data collection where the fixed cost return link capacity, say 512kb/s is time shared amongst any number of remotely controlled camera terminals. The outlink, controlling all the cameras, is perhaps just 20 kbit/s.
