PART TWO

INTRODUCTION

Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) networks provide affordable access to

communications services. The LAN Design Project that I have made has been converted
to be prepared to describe the technology, the planning process, and the applications and
benefits of VSAT networks.

It is a micro-Earth station that uses the latest innovations in the field of satellite
communications to allow user's access to reliable satellite communications. VSATs
provide users with services comparable to large gateways and terrestrial networks, at a
fraction of the cost. A typical VSAT consists of communications equipment and a small
antenna with a diameter less than 3.5 meters.

VSAT networks provide users with simple equipment that requires minimal
installation and repair. They are easy to operate and simple to troubleshoot. VSAT
installations do not require staff with extensive expertise.

The importance of studying this communication network using Very

Small Aperture Terminal is to explore the world of networking. In order to build a

network that can manage a large geographic area to provide the efficient communication

services for a particular company.

This VSAT will be used in ATM for Banking and credit authorizations to be

easily communicated for customer services and demands. It can be useful in Inventory

Management of a branch to branch company or a sister’s companies by using a rural

telephony for it will help to easily referring and transactions occurrence. For having a

remote location connectivity using VSAT, you can easily control your company’s

communication for other company.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

 The LAN Proposed Design must be converted into VSAT for the improve of

communication services.

 The security assurance will be oriented for other company’s identification and

location.

 The file sharing become more efficient because of it is for large geographic area.

 This can be used for remote/rural area communications.

 Also for far-flung offices of a company with the help of voice and data

communications.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The LAN proposed design must be converting into VSAT in order to serve

the entire departments of Philippine Columbian Association for it to have a more

complex network connection. This network is for entire department and

employees, and local customers.

This will present into comprehensive topic such as:

 The actual layout of the network

 The hardware and software that will be provided for the design
VSAT SATELLITE NETWORK TOPOLOGIES

There are three types of VSAT network topologies: star, mesh, and hybrid.

In star topology, each VSAT terminal transmits and receives only to the hub. This
does not preclude the VSAT terminals from communicating among them, because
VSAT-to-VSAT communication can be routed via the hub using a double satellite hop.

The majority of VSAT networks use star topology because the large antenna gain
at the hub optimizes the use of the space segment and minimizes the size of the VSAT
terminal. The drawback of star topology is that the delay for VSAT to VSAT
communication doubles in comparison to single hop transmission.
