VSATs for business systems
VSATs, very small aperture terminals, are small earth stations capable of receiving from and sometimes transmitting to satellites. They represent an important addition to the telecommunications world because they can provide a service directly to the user at virtually any geographic location covered by a suitable satellite beam. They do not require any support from a local terrestrial communications network and can even be run from portable or alternative power supplies.
