vSat satellite products are a stand alone solution requiring no traditional internet connection method. A connection via a LAN port on the vSat subscribers computer is made to the Sky Edge decoder which is connected to the satellite dish. Internet requests are made by the subscriber bouncing of an orbiting satellite Bordernet's earth station hub. The hub then delivers the internet request back to the subscriber at broadband speed.

Industry professionals use many technical terms and acronyms to describe the various components of VSAT hardware - IDU, ODU, OMT, antenna, etc. For a list of common terms, see our Knowledge Base article, VSAT Terms and Acronyms. See similar questions...

VSAT is an abreviation for Very Small Aperture Terminal. It is a terminal that allows for reception from and transmission to a satellite It is used in one way or two way star, mesh or point to point communication via satellite. The antenna size is less or equal to 3.8m for CU band and 7.8m for C band. The terminals used for TV reception are receive only terminals while the ones for two way data communication are Receive and Transmit Terminals (Rx/Tx). See similar questions...

Absolutely. In fact, in high latency environments like those with satellites, the Stampede Application Acceleration Series performs at its best. See similar questions...

With a smaller VSAT antenna the received power from the satellite is reduced, hence to provide the same service in terms of data speed, Bit Error Rate and availability, the satellite power needs to be increased. This obviously has a direct effect on the cost of satellite capacity. Normally BT is wholly responsible for the complete connectivity chain, from the source of the data to its destination. The entire link is fully managed by BT 24-hours a day 365 days a year. See similar questions...

The primary differences between terrestrial (DSL, cable, and modem) and satellite services are round-trip times, vulnerability to weather and radio interference, and cost of subscription. Terrestrial broadband services have faster round-trip ("ping") times, but similiar actual download rates. Geosyncronous satellites orbit at an altitude of 36,000 km. See similar questions...
