Traffic shaping is a technique used in VSAT systems to manage and prioritize network traffic, ensuring that high-priority services like video conferencing and VoIP receive the necessary bandwidth. By controlling data flow, traffic shaping helps prevent network congestion and improves the overall performance of the VSAT system. This ensures that mission-critical applications function efficiently, even […]

Effective bandwidth management is crucial in optimizing VSAT performance. With limited satellite bandwidth, businesses must prioritize traffic to ensure that critical communications and data are given priority. Bandwidth management tools allow organizations to allocate bandwidth to specific services, ensuring smooth operation even during peak traffic times. This is especially important in remote locations, where alternative […]
Rain fade refers to the attenuation of satellite signals caused by heavy rainfall, which can disrupt VSAT communication. This phenomenon is particularly prominent in tropical and subtropical regions, where rainfall is frequent. VSAT systems can mitigate rain fade by using higher-frequency bands like Ku-band and Ka-band, or by implementing adaptive modulation techniques that adjust to […]
VSAT bandwidth determines the speed and quality of internet onboard a vessel. Higher bandwidth allows seamless streaming, cloud usage, VoIP, and real-time operations. Bandwidth is usually shared among multiple users, and fair usage policies (FUP) may apply. Ku-band and Ka-band offer scalable bandwidths suitable for different marine applications. Bandwidth monitoring tools help in allocating resources […]
