VSAT Satellite Communication - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellite communication is a system that uses geosynchronous satellites to achieve communication. The antenna aperture of its terminal equipment is usually less than 3 meters. It has the characteristics of small size, low cost, and easy installation. It plays an important role in the global communication field.

The working principle of VSAT satellite communication is based on the basic principle of satellite communication. The VSAT terminal on the ground first modulates and encodes the signal to be transmitted (such as voice, data, image, etc.) to make it suitable for satellite transmission. These signals are transmitted to the communication satellite in the geosynchronous orbit in the form of electromagnetic waves through the terminal antenna. After receiving the signal, the communication satellite amplifies and converts it, and then forwards the signal back to the ground. Other VSAT terminals or master stations on the ground receive the signal forwarded by the satellite through the antenna, and demodulate and decode it to restore the original signal, thereby realizing information exchange between the two communicating parties. During the whole process, the communication satellite is like a relay station suspended in space, connecting VSAT terminals at different locations on the ground, breaking the limitations of geographical distance and realizing long-distance communication.

The VSAT satellite communication system is mainly composed of two parts: the space segment and the ground segment. The space segment is the communication satellite, which is the core of the entire system and is responsible for signal relay. Communication satellites are usually located in geosynchronous orbits and are relatively stationary with the earth, which ensures that the VSAT terminals on the ground can communicate with the satellite stably. The ground segment includes VSAT terminals and master stations. VSAT terminals are devices used directly by users. They are composed of antennas, outdoor units (ODUs) and indoor units (IDUs). Antennas are responsible for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals; outdoor units mainly include low-noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, up-converters and down-converters, etc., which are used to amplify and convert signals; indoor units are responsible for signal modulation and demodulation, encoding and decoding, and interface adaptation with user equipment (such as computers, telephones, etc.). The master station is the control center of the entire VSAT network. It is responsible for managing and controlling the network, including network access management, channel allocation, data forwarding, and other functions for VSAT terminals. The master station is usually equipped with a large-caliber antenna and high-performance communication equipment to ensure efficient communication with the satellite and each VSAT terminal.

VSAT satellite communication has many advantages. First, it has a wide coverage range. As long as it is within the area covered by the satellite signal, no matter how complex the terrain is, a communication link can be established, which makes it particularly suitable for use in remote areas, mountainous areas, islands and other areas where ground communication infrastructure is difficult to cover. Secondly, the installation and deployment of VSAT satellite communication is very flexible. The VSAT terminal is small in size and light in weight, and can be quickly installed and debugged to meet special needs such as temporary communication and emergency communication. Furthermore, the expansion of the VSAT satellite communication system is relatively easy. Only by increasing the number of VSAT terminals can the coverage and user capacity of the network be expanded. In addition, VSAT satellite communication also has high communication quality and reliability. It uses advanced error correction coding and modulation technology, which can effectively resist signal interference and fading and ensure the stability of communication.

In the application field, VSAT satellite communication has a wide range of applications. In the field of distance education, schools in remote areas can receive teaching resources from high-quality schools in cities through VSAT satellite communications, realize distance education, and allow more students to enjoy fair educational opportunities. In terms of telemedicine, grassroots medical institutions can use VSAT satellite communications to conduct remote consultations with large hospitals. Experts can view patients' medical records and examination results in real time, provide patients with accurate diagnosis and treatment suggestions, and improve the accessibility of medical services. In corporate communications, multinational companies can use VSAT satellite communications to achieve communications between global branches, conduct data transmission, video conferencing and other services, and improve the operational efficiency of enterprises. In the field of emergency communications, when natural disasters, emergencies and other situations occur, the ground communication network may be damaged. VSAT satellite communications can quickly build emergency communication links to provide communication guarantees for rescue command. In addition, VSAT satellite communications also have important applications in industries such as oil exploration, marine fisheries, and transportation.

With the continuous development of science and technology, VSAT satellite communications are also evolving. In the future, it will develop in the direction of higher bandwidth, lower cost, and more intelligence. With the advancement of satellite technology, new high-throughput satellites will be put into use, which can provide higher bandwidth for VSAT satellite communications and meet users' demand for high-speed data transmission. At the same time, through technological innovation and large-scale production, the cost of VSAT terminals and systems can be reduced and their market competitiveness can be improved. In terms of intelligence, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are introduced to achieve intelligent management and optimization of VSAT networks and improve network performance and reliability. In addition, VSAT satellite communications will also be integrated with ground communication technologies such as 5G to form a space-ground integrated communication network, providing users with more convenient and efficient communication services.
