VSAT stands for “Very Small Aperture Terminal” and refers to receive/transmit
terminals installed at dispersed sites connecting to a central hub via satellite using
small diameter antenna dishes (0.6 to 3.8 meter).
VSAT technology represents a cost effective solution for users seeking an independent
communications network connecting a large number of geographically dispersed
sites. VSAT networks offer value-added satellite-based services capable of supporting
the RT2000 and can provide powerful, dependable private and public network
communications solutions.
