Abstract

More than half a million enterprise and government locations across North America have used Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellite technology to support some of the world’s largest mission-critical, wide-area-networks. These VSAT networks support a wide range of environments from small, transaction-based applications such as remote monitoring and point-of-sale systems to fully converged, multi-megabit broadband communications enabling carrier-quality voice and real-time video. With more than 25 years of industry experience, leading VSAT service providers have proven the reliability and performance of satellite communications to even the most demanding of customers in commercial, industrial, and government markets.

As the world’s largest businesses and government agencies serve their customers and constituents – enjoying access to an abundance of communications options satellite will see an expansion of its role as the disaster-recovery and business-continuity technology of choice, ensuring non-stop networking in good times and bad.
