  Use of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) to has become popular today to provide proper SatelliteConnectivity in Africa and many other remote areas of the world where installation of terrestrial network is not feasible. There are several types of bands used for VSAT communications, like Ku-band, C-Band, and  Ka-Band in Africa  being the most popular ones. There former two are especially used quite extensively. Worldwide frequency regulator, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) initially defined C-band to be the first satellite band, and its frequencies range from 4Ghz to 8Ghz.  VSAT C   band has comparatively less focused signals than the Ku-band, which means that these signals are less affected by rain. The attenuation of C-band signal due to rain fading ranges from 0.4 dB to 1 dB. The c band is usually used for areas with heavy rainfall, including the tropical regions of Africa. Ku  band, on the other hand, has more high-powered signals com...

       VSAT or Very Small Aperture Terminal refers to a satellite dish of around 3.8, which is located in a remote region and used for satellite internet connection. The use of VSAT Internetin Africa and other remote regions of the world is pretty prominent. This system helps provide internet connection in areas where installation of traditional copper or fibre network is not feasible. VSAT is commonly used as a backup communication link for certain mission-critical systems like offshore gas and oil rigs, as well as remote autonomous mine sites. Geostationary communication satellites are positioned one-tenth of the way to the moon.   A lot of satellite service providers make use of Geo stationary satellites as they appear to be stationary viewed from Earth, and hence can be used as a fixed dish. However, tracking antennas can also be used in VSAT. At the end of the link, there shall be larger satellite dishes located at a teleport. This is where the satellite...
