Why satellite

WHY COMPANIES USE SATELLITE NETWORKS?

Availability in any place
Satellite network is the unique technology of global telephony and broadband net which is available everywhere. All that is necessary is a good sky visibility. For inter-city and international companies it notes a single level of services for all the branches and representative offices. It is also easier and cheaper to control data transfer network as there is one and the same point of engagement for all representative offices instead of dozens of local in-land service providers and problematic demarcation between them.

Great economy
Satellite networks are often much cheaper to put into operation, repair and run than surface-mounted stations. Surface-mounted stations require powerful infrastructure regardless of whether they are a telephony network (based on copper wires, fiber-optic cable, radio and SHF towers) or a broadband network (such as Frame Relay, DSL, ISDN). Building such stations in remote areas may be very expensive. VSAT packages are not only much cheaper to put into operation, but also, built for low power consumption, they can work using not the electric power line, but ordinary solar panels.

Reliability
Satellite networks have much less potential points of destruction that surface-mounted and, built in excessiveness practically on every level, satellite communications networks secure incomparable durability. Common satellite networks can provide 99.95% of access to all sites regardless of locations. Surface-mounted communications networks have a lot of potential points of destruction. Moreover, surface-mounted networks providers can't record failing in the work without the help of third-party providers or working brigade. National reliability level is problematic for land telephony and modern broadband networks.

Security and privacy
VSAT networks are more secure and confidential than alternative land technologies that make them a technology that is chosen by governmental agencies, military structures and enterprises requiring high security level. IP-traffic through Internet foes through a large amount of computers ensuring variety of access points to private traffic. Satellite communications don't go through third-party land computers minimizing the possibility of illegal access. Traffic can be encoded using the most advanced techniques to guarantee complete information safety.

Fast putting into operation and installation
Satellite communications networks can be set up in hundreds and even thousand of branches much faster that the time required for a similar surface-mounted network. For VSAT installation only one provider is needed so the necessity in cooperation of several providers falls. The installation usually takes several hours regardless of the location of a branch. Considering that complete putting into operation can take several weeks but not months. Installation and putting into operation of satellite communications network are very fast and simple.

Capability of data multicast
Powerful capabilities of the satellites as means of transfer make VSAT networks ideal for spreading information, data, audio and video to a large amount of remote branches and representative offices. Technology of multi-addressee information transfer through the network absolves from repetitive message transfer and maximizes the effectiveness of actual servers and networks loosening channels path bands. There are no excess expenses either in NMC or on the satellite. The only additional expense for each addressee is a VSAT package and DVB-card with receive antenna. It leads to considerable savings.

Generality and extensibility
VSAT technology has incomparable ability to support a big amount of device and applications. Basic systems can ensure transfer of voice, fax, data and video. Data bases can support innovative functions including multi-address transfer with the help of IP.

Software support of VSAT stations fall for extension adding new possibilities which usually doesn't require drive of service person to distinct representative offices. Module construction of VSAT stations also permits modular additions and fast modernization with ease impossible in land-line networks.

Network over the Earth
Satellite communications networks don't depend on land disruptions what makes them a perfect solution for support of communication channels of land-line networks. They are also very effective in restoration after catastrophes and accidents making it possible to restore communication services quickly.

Satellite communication can complement to already existing ground infrastructure, ensuring competitive benefits, such as:

  • Availability in any place
  • Unearthly network
  • Reliability
  • Capability of data multicast
  • Security and privacy

Satellite communications provide enhanced communications infrastructure in those regions where there is no suitable earth infrastructure.

  • Great economy
  • Fast putting into operation and installation
  • Generality and extensibility
