Introduction to VSAT
Binariangs Very Small Aperture Terminal(VSAT) product line is designed to provide cost-effective telecommunications to a widearray of industries of domestic and regional services. VSATs are effective tools for WAN, LAN internetworking, multimedia imagetransfer, batch and interactive data transmission, interactive voice, and broadcast data and video communications.
VSATs DefinitionThe Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) provides for the transmission of voice, video and data via satellite. VSAT technology tosupport a wide range of applications and satellite technologies including the recent transmission of Internet services. Originally, theVSAT was created to distinguish it from the requirements of a large fixed earth station. VSAT now refers to a wide range of
capabilities including Geosynchronous and non-Geosynchronous satellites as well as stationary and non-stationary terminals.Binariang VSAT solutions for fixed antennas transmitting to Malaysia East Asia Satellite (MEASAT) supporting data rates between9.6 Kbps to 2 Mbps. Binariang's customized solutions include basic point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connections; digitaltransmission services on a single channel; and hubless connectivity among multiple sites.
Applications
VSAT antennas are used for international businesses requiring worldwide connectivity and allow organizations to manage informatiobetween a central office and regional or branch offices. The applications used by VSAT technology include disaster recovery, localaccess extensions, trunk redundancy and host-to-host communications. Industries such as finance and banking support transaction
processing and credit authorization; retailing and manufacturing industries oversee just-in-time management; and internationalinsurance and transportation companies oversee policy and account management via their international VSAT networks.
Why Use VSATs?VSAT networks provide rapid, reliable satellite transmission of data, voice, and video to an unlimited number of geographically
dispersed sites or from these sites to headquarters.
What Equipment Do I need for My VSAT NetworkEach site is equipped with a VSAT terminal consisting of an antenna, outdoor electronics mounted on the antenna for signalreception/transmission, and indoor electronics for connection to customer computer, telephone, and video equipment.
VSAT SizesThe size of a VSAT primarily depends on the data rate of each site. Depending on the site, Binariang typically supports VSATs from1.8m; 2.4m; 3.8m and larger.
Part 1Introduction to SCPC
SCPC is used for economical distribution of broadcast data, digital audio and video materials, as well as for full-duplex or two-waydata, audio or video communications.
In an SCPC system, user data is transmitted to the satellite continuously on a single satellite carrier. The satellite signal is received ata single location, in the case of a point-to-point system, or at many locations in a broadcast application, providing hubless connectivitamong multiple sites.
SCPC got its name from the older analog transmission technology, when a single satellite channel could carry only one data carrieWith today's digital technology, SCPC can actually operate in a MCPC (Multiple Channel Per Carrier) mode, with several data carriemultiplexed into a single digital aggregate. For example, two earth stations transmitting 64 kbps carriers to each other can actually
provide several compressed digital telephone circuits as well as full-time low speed data circuits if proper voice/data multiplexingequipment is added to each basic system.
Examples of SCPC VSAT Applications

SCPC Services
Single Channel Per Carrier(SCPC) VSATs are based on a Point-To-Point Satellite-based Leased Line Service (approximate72,000km long). It is a much simpler technology (clear and transparent channel BPSK/QPSK satellite modem technology). It provida transparent "digital Pipe" service with no Protocol Spoofing. The data rate supported is from 9.6 Kbps up to 2.048 Mbps. This makit an ideal choice for satellite users wishing to transport high speeds signals, whether those signals consists of data, voice, video, faxInternet, multimedia or any others material that can be translated into a digital data streams.
Binariangs SCPC VSAT continue to provide valuable connectivity in the corporate communication networks, cellular telephoncommunication networks, regional and international gateway services. The regional sales and support office of Measat Broadca
Network System(MBNS) based in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu are connected to its Headquarters in Sungai Besi Kuala Lumpur via th2.048 Mbps SCPC links. Its applications are data, voice and fax. All traffics are incorporate to an external multiplexer. Voice another dominant traffic type for SCPC VSAT. An example is Binariangs cellular network of GSM. The SCPC network connects fo
BTS sites of Datai Beach, Tanah Rata, Jerantut and Kuala Lipis with a much lower capacity of NX64 kbps to its BSC site in SubanHi-Tech, Shah Alam.
The high availability of 99.7% makes a significant different in the amount of service availability and the amount of business that canbe conducted. As a complement to the conventional transmissions technologies that are increasingly being used to bring a wide varieof services, it permit an efficient and cost-effective of distributing or exchanging information throughout a widely dispersedorganization. The economic realities of providing service, distributed geography assures a continued significant role for SCPC satellisystems in regional voice and data communications.
Part 2Introduction to TDM / TDMA
What is TDM/TDMA?Perhaps the best known VSAT network architecture is the Time Division Multiplex/Time Division Multiple Access network, usedaround the world for low speed (300 bps - 64,000 bps) data communications such as credit card processing and verification, point-of-sale, inventory control and general business data connectivity.
A typical TDM/TDMA network employs a large satellite hub system that manages all network terminal access and routing. Data istransmitted to and from the hub in short bursts on satellite channels that are shared with 30 to 40 other terminals (depending uponnetwork loading parameters). The hub communicates with these VSAT terminals over a higher-speed "outbound" TDM satellite

carrier. The terminals transmit back to the hub on their assigned "inbound" carriers using TDM protocols. This combination allows acertain number of slots in time each second that each terminal can transmit data, and can dynamically assign more or less time toterminals based upon their individual requirements. With this type of assignment, maximum network efficiency and throughput ismaintained.
What size are the VSAT antennas?Half-a-meter to 2.4 meter depending upon locations.
Who would want TDM/TDMA?
The prime customers of this service are large corporations which frequently receive data from distributed data sources and transmit to
dispersed locations
Examples:Car dealers (Ford, General Motor,Mazda), BanksLarge retail chains (Massa, Metro,IKEA), hotels (Hilton)Transport industry (UPS)Customers could also includemanufacturing and engineering,and any institutions which are notadversely affected by minor timedelays.

X.25 is an interface specification developed by ITU for the purpose of standardizing the interface between users devices and a packetswitching network. It is conforms to the OSI protocol model. It specifies the three lowest layers: the physical layer(X.21 bis), the datalink control layer(X.25 LAPB) and network layer(X.25 packet). X.25 describe the interface between a user device(DTE) and a packetswitch network(DCE). The Physical layer defines the electrical, mechanical and functional characteristics required to establish,maintain and disconnect the physical link between a network and X.25 device. The link layer guarantee delivery of data blocks,referred as frame, across a potentially error-prone circuit. The packet layer provides flow controls, error control and multiplexingfunctions. The packet layer provides for the setup and maintenance of multiple logical connections, called Virtual Circuits. Thecurrent TDM/TDMA system supports Switched Virtual Circuits(SVCs), which the call setup and clearing procedures to dynamicallyestablish a connection. Several SVCs can be multiplexed on a single physical link.
System Network Architecture(SNA)/Synchronous Data Link Control(SDLC) is IBMs proprietary communications netwo
architecture. It is designed to ensure reliable and error-free connectivity between devices that supports the SNA suite of protocols, anprovides end-to-end compatibility between IBM products. SNA/SDLC is a tool used by the end user to access a hosts services. All thnodes within the network contain a Physical Unit Control Point. Each node is characteristically defined by the services available tmanage and monitor the resources attached to it. These service requirements are referred to as Physical Unit(PU) types or node typeTwo forms of SNA/SDLC supports are available:
PU4-to-PU2
PU4-to-PU2.1
The bit-transparent protocol allows the users to transmit either synchronous or asynchronous data transparently through the systembetween the hub and the remote. No protocol spoofing. Currently only the asynchronous mode available to the system.
In the Wide Area Network(WAN) environment, LANs have traditionally been supported by gateways or routers, which the LAN
protocols then convert to WAN protocols. It eliminates the need for a gateway or router, allowing LAN users to connect directly to aVSAT. LAN frames are copied and forwarded across the network, allowing local and remote LANs to appear as one large LAN. Thisintegrated design eliminates the cost and performance penalties associated with traditional WAN access, providing high throughputand data transfer speeds.
