VSAT is short for very small aperture terminal, an earthbound station used in satellite communications of data, voice and video signals, excluding broadcast television. A VSAT consist of two parts, a transceiver that is placed outdoors in direct line of sight to the satellite and a device that is placed indoors to interface the transceiver with the end user's communications device, such as a PC.
VSAT can be deployed anywhere - in cities, unpopulated areas such as mountains, deserts, forests and jungles, anywhere under the coverage of the satellite. Deploying a VSAT takes very little time, once deployed customer can enjoy uninterrupted, always-on broadband Internet connection.
