Traditional satellite technology utilizes a broad single beam to cover entire continents and regions. With the introduction of multiple narrowly focused spot beams and frequency reuse, IPSTAR is capable of maximizing the available frequency for transmissions. Increasing bandwidth by a factor of twenty compared to traditional Ku-band satellites translates into better efficiencies. Despite the higher costs associated with spot beam technology, the overall cost per circuit is considerably lower as compared to shaped beam technology.
Extract all the metrics used to measure the performance of IPSTAR from the following paragraph. Present the results in a list separated by commas.
The passage mentions available frequency width, bandwidth and cost per circuit.
