• Low Power Consumption

Concurrent Protocol Support
VSATplus T1000 can be configured to implement different protocols concurrently. It can simultaneously support SDLC, X.25, TCP/IP including IP routing, voice, MPEG1 and MPEG2 video and more.

Multicast Service
IP multicast delivers information to a large number of recipients simultaneously. Implementing IP multicast via satellite as an added value overlay to interactive data networks provides a single-tier architecture for multicast applications.

Multicast applications include the transmission of live video/audio streams of news and entertainment, multimedia corporate training, database replication, software update distribution and dissemination of financial data. VSATplus T1000's powerful outbound capability, up to 8 Mbps, enables simultaneous use of multiple applications.

Integrated Voice/Fax Capabilities
Plug-in voice cards at the remote VSATs and dedicated interfaces at the hub facilitate transparent telephone line services to VSAT users.

Efficient Space Segment Utilization
VSATplus T1000 uses IP technologies to speed up network performance and reduce traffic traveling over the satellite. In addition, FTDMA access scheme is designed to increase bandwidth on traffic destined for the hub. By allowing individual remote sites to transmit data on any channel at any time traffic is automatically balanced across all channels, improving network throughput. To manage competing bandwidth demands, VSATplus T1000 uses multiple access schemes for transactional and heavy traffic and automatic access schemes where bandwidth can be changed according to traffic type.

Superior Reliability
VSATplus T1000 networks and equipment are extremely reliable. Each VSAT unit faces a rigorous quality control procedure so that it has already been tried and tested before it reaches the customer. As a mature product, the VSATplus T1000 has been field proven in networks worldwide.

Rapid Deployment
Compact design enables quick installation of individual sites and rapid deployment of large networks.

Low Power Consumption
With less than 25w, VSATplus T1000 offers substantial savings with regards to UPS, battery or solar panel cost. This minimal power consumption makes it ideal for SCADA and any other outdoor use.
 

Technical Specs 

VSATplus T1000
Reliable, High-Speed Performance Across the Enterprise
The VSATplus T1000 was designed using state-of-the-art technology for cost-effective, time-efficient deployment and implementation of sophisticated data networks. 
Below you can review information on the VSATplus T1000 architecture and technical specifications. 

Architecture
The VSATplus T1000 network consists of a hub, satellite channel and remote VSATs. The hub consists of an RF terminal (RFT) and baseband equipment. The baseband includes a Hub Satellite Processor (HSP) to control the satellite transmission, a Hub Protocol Processor (HPP) to interface with the customer's data equipment, an optional Hub Voice Processor (HVP) for voice interfaces, and an optional video encoder. 
An advanced, user-friendly Network Management System (NMS) provides centralized monitoring and control, statistics, alarms and events, network configuration and report generation. 
A remote terminal consists of a small outdoor antenna (typically 0.55 to 1.2 meters), an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an Indoor Unit (IDU). 
In contrast to other VSAT networks, the hub architecture features internal hub switching for remote-to-remote circuit connectivity.
