S-band is a frequency band used for satellite communication, especially in VSAT systems. While S-band is less commonly used than Ku-band or Ka-band, it provides a unique advantage in specific applications, including weather radar, communications for mobile satellite systems, and maritime industries. Its low susceptibility to rain fade makes it ideal for regions prone to adverse weather conditions. S-band is particularly advantageous for services requiring lower data rates and high reliability in remote locations.
