We are able to provide outbound of up to 200 Kbps and inbound of up to 400 Kbps. A. Satellite delay is caused by the distance that the signal has to travel from the VSAT unit to the satellite. The throughput performance however, remains unaffected. A single hop delay is the delay caused by the transmission from a VSAT unit to another unit. However, certain VSAT topology uses the master hub-station as the transit gateway to connect between two remote units and that introduces a two hop delay for each transmission.
Voice calls are especially sensitive to the delay problem.
Our SmartLink solution provides a single hop link between any two points. That means the remote VSAT unit can call the other without having to go through the master hub-station. A. Sun Outage happens when the satellite, the earth and the VSAT unit is in perfect alignment. This event can be calculated. It happens twice every year and lasts for only a few minutes.
