This page
briefly describes Satellite Internet and the components of a
satellite telecommunication terminal. The word terminal refers
to the fact that the antenna and it's components can transmit
and receive to and from a satellite in space.

other components we will discuss further down this page. (Up

Satellite
Dish Antenna
Our Rx/Tx
(Receive / Transmit) satellite dish antenna sizes
range from .75 cm up to 21 meter.
The size of the
satellite antenna (dish) limits the amount of data you can
carry over a circuit.  Antenna
size and amplifier power is a complicated calculation based
upon the terminal location relative to the satellite power
footprint and it's frequency band. There can be a trade off
between a smaller dish and high power amplifier or larger dish
and low power amplifier.
Link
budget - A link budget calculates the power and antenna size
required to provide the desired level of bandwidth to a
specific site. The site is based upon the site location,
satellite in use, and size/type of equipment at the
Hub/teleport.
A teleport is
the earth station that controls communications across the
space link-Wikipedia
|
Choosing
the wrong antenna (dish) size can result in much higher
monthly bandwidth fees. Often a savvy client will pay more for
the equipment at the beginning, knowing that their lower
monthly bandwidth costs will pay back their original
investment in a few months.
