What is Broadband Satellite?

Broadband Satellite technology uses a RF satellite link to provide subscribers with broadband Internet access
Similar to the technology used in Direct-to-the-Home (DTH) video broadcast (DirecTV, Dish Network); can coexist

Targets users in a location with poor or nonexistent terrestrial infrastructure Early one-way systems capable of up to 400 kbps download, but used 56 kbps analog modem for upload New two-way systems expected to perform at 1 Mbps download and 500 kbps upload typically

Satellite Access Service Provider

Home User

Satellite transmission in both Download and Upload channels Download is a broadcast protocol and Upload is TDMA-based Much faster upload speeds compared to one-way architecture
Good for applications like video conferencing (high-bandwidth, two-way communication)

Standards
Proprietary standards
DSS: Hughes Network Systems (HNS) proprietary

Open standard
DVB consortium standard: DVB (ETS 300-421) Recently proposed DVB Return Channel over Satellite (DVBRCS) as the standard for the return channel on newer two-way systems

Satellite Access 11

Satellite Access Equipment

Subscriber Side Ground Terminal
Outdoor Unit (ODU)
A small (~2-3 ft diameter), low-cost dish antenna with transmit and receive components placed at the focal point of the antenna Receives/sends data from/to the satellite in two-way systems One-way systems use a dish for download direction only Needs to face the southern sky for proper transmission Indoor Unit (IDU) A Satellite Modem which serves as an interface between the ODU and customer equipment and controls satellite transmission Analog Modems are used in one way systems to upload subscriber data to the ISP via the PSTN
Satellite Access 12

Satellite Access Equipment

Service Provider Ground Station (Hub)
Outdoor Unit
Dish antenna (15-36 feet) and transmit/receive operate similarly to subscriber terminals Indoor Unit (Access Server/Gateway) The equipment which demodulates an incoming signal from the ODU carrying IP packets and sends the packets to local network Traffic could be transported to the Internet, over a VoIP gateway to the PSTN, to a local cache, from a streaming server, etc. Network Management System (NMS) is the portion of the satellite server that manages the activity at the Hub

Satellite Access Equipment

Spacecraft
High-power, Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite located at 23,800 mi. above the equator and operating typically in the Ku-band (11-14 Ghz) and/or Ka-band (20-30 Ghz)
