VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal)
BIT in partnership with Spacenet / Connexstar provides enterprise-grade VSAT networks for some of the largest multi-site enterprises in North America using industry-leading satellite technology from Gilat satellite networks. Following is more information about VSAT equipment.

Patented Inbound Access Technology
To maximize return-path bandwidth efficiency, Connexstar VSAT networks feature a patented frequency and time division multiplexing access (FTDMA) scheme that automatically balances inbound traffic across all channels by allowing individual remote sites to transmit on any channel at any time. The result is superior response time, measurably improved performance, and more efficient use of inbound bandwidth. This unique technology - not available with competing systems - can also lower costs by reducing the amount of bandwidth needed for your network to function efficiently, as well as eliminate the potential for partial network outages that could occur with traditional VSAT networks if a single inbound channel were to go down.

The Skystar 360E™ is a two-way VSAT using a high-speed DVB standard outbound transport system in conjunction with Spacenet's field-proven satellite return channel. The entire system is optimized for IP applications and can be tightly integrated with value-added, PC-based applications. The Skystar 360E delivers scalable broadband inbound and outbound capacity.

Maximum Bandwidth Efficiency
As a broadcast medium, Connexstar VSAT networks are also inherently superior platforms for applications that require the distribution of common content from a single source to a large number of remote sites. While terrestrial unicast networks must send multiple separate copies of the same information to reach these multiple recipients, Spacenet satellite networks can multicast a single copy of a given file to a virtually unlimited number of end-user sites. This more efficient use of network and server resources frees up valuable bandwidth, allowing you to do more with your current infrastructure and avoid costly upgrades.

Turnkey Solutions
Beyond technological superiority, Connexstar VSAT networks also offer superior economics with true end-to-end service solutions that bundle all equipment, installation, service and support into a single, low-cost solution. Spacenet owns and controls all aspects of the service, allowing us to provide you with the best possible terms and prices. In addition, millions of dollars have been invested to provide its customers with the best possible service and support, including Web-based, on-demand access to installation schedules and field service activities.
