Satellite Internet. VSAT Tooway - Two-way satellite internet Satellite internet information

The article discusses the issues of organizing two-way satellite Internet. Another name is duplex, synchronous. Geostationary satellites are used to operate such a system. This is a satellite located at an altitude of 35,768 km, its orbit (geostationary - GSO) lies in the equatorial plane, and the angular velocity of the device is equal to the angular velocity of the earth's rotation. Thus, it is always located above one point on the surface. This allows the use of fixed (fixed) antennas to transmit and receive signals from the satellite, which simplifies the process of information exchange. The satellite's position is constantly adjusted using propulsion engines. To survey the entire surface of the earth, theoretically, 3 such satellites are enough, but guaranteed communication is carried out only in a 40-degree band on both sides of the equator. Communication up to 75-80 degrees is possible and possible, but encounters certain technical difficulties. For Russia this is the Arctic.

The figure shows the Internet coverage area of two satellites:

Russian "Yamal";

Foreign "IntelSat".

As you can see, satellites provide communications to almost the entire territory of the Russian Federation, except for Chukotka, and also cover part of European and Asian countries

Compared to cable lines, two-way satellite Internet has a number of advantages:

Continuous communication, since the satellite and antenna are motionless relative to each other;

Independence from terrestrial cable and radio lines;

Coverage of a large surface with only three satellites;

There is no need for inter-satellite communication, as is the case with low-orbit systems where satellites exchange information.

There are also disadvantages to the operation of two-way satellite Internet:

High cost of satellite and receiving stations. This is determined by the large distance from the satellite (about 36,000 km) and, as a consequence, the low signal level.

Delay in signal propagation. Considering the speed of radio waves and the distance, the delay time is about 0.12 seconds one way, and the total response time is about 0.8 seconds. This is acceptable for television and radio broadcasting, but not always for the Internet, and game lovers need to forget about dynamic “on line” games.

Sensitivity to weather conditions (heavy rain or sleet with strong winds). This sometimes increases the delay time.

The principle of operation of two-way satellite Internet

In the case of synchronous Internet, the satellite operates in receive/transmit mode. The request from the client is transmitted to the satellite and then to the receiving station (provider), which sends it to the Internet. Having received the necessary data from the requested site, the provider transmits the information to the client via satellite. The exchange is carried out at microwave frequencies in the Ku band. Operation speed: up to 2 Mbit/s when transmitting and up to 8 Mbit/s when receiving information. The ground stations of the satellite two-way Internet client are called VSAT (VerySmall ApertureTerminal). VSAT stations can be stationary or mobile. The latter are widely used in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, on cars, ships, airplanes, etc.

Equipment, installation and configuration, tariffs.

There are many companies involved in installation and configuration. One of these is the RuSat company, which has been operating in this market for more than 10 years. The company has a transceiver teleport equipped with Ø9.15m antennas, powerful transmitters, backup power, etc. The basis is the Yamal satellite (Russia) and foreign IntelSats.

Below is a list of equipment supplied by the company for satellite Internet operation in two-way mode:

Antenna Ø0.75m with automatic guidance.
Transmitter with a power of 500 or 800 mW.
iLNB converter. Converts the signal from the modem to the Ku band (reception, transmission).
Modem with power supply.
Equipment for orienting the antenna to the Point&PlayTM satellite.
Cables with connectors. Ethernet (2 m, RJ-45) and two Tx and Rx cables (30 m, F-type connectors).
Antenna support (optional).
Documentation.

The subscriber can connect using tariff A (more than 1,350 rubles) or B (less than 1,350 rubles). If necessary, it is possible to connect to a local network via cable or Wi-Fi.

Two-way satellite Internet is the only option when high-speed cable or radio communications systems are not available. These could be dachas or cottage communities, remote villages, mobile facilities, etc.

The combination of two-way satellite Internet with local networks (cable or wireless) makes it possible for groups of users to connect to the network.

Satellites provide continuous 24/7 communications throughout the covered area.

Unlimited tariff plans start from 1,500 to 20,000 rubles, depending on Internet speed and daily traffic volume.

Two-way (synchronous) satellite Internet works both for receiving and transmitting information from the satellite. It looks like this: the user makes a request to the Internet, the receiving and transmitting station processes the request and sends it to the satellite, from the satellite the request is redirected to the provider, then to the Internet, when a response is received from the Internet, incoming information from the provider’s server is sent to satellite, and from the satellite to the user’s computer (see diagram).

Scheme. Two-way satellite internet.

Thus, to work with two-way satellite Internet, there is no need to connect an additional channel for outgoing communication; the function of receiving and transmitting information is performed by satellite Internet equipment - the user’s receiving and transmitting antenna. This connection is more reliable and stable, unlike a one-way type of access, because the user does not depend on failures in the outgoing channels (GPRS on a mobile phone, Ethernet, ADSL, Dial up), the request is instantly processed and transmitted to the satellite. This is the main advantage of two-way access.

(European part of the Russian Federation), Yamal 200 90 gr. eastern duty. (the entire territory of the Russian Federation, with the exception of Kamchatka and Chukotka), Express AM 140 gr. eastern duty. (Far Eastern part of the Russian Federation).

Who are the users of two-way satellite Internet? These are primarily educational and medical institutions, hotel complexes, hunting and fishing clubs, owners of country houses and cottages and other structures located in areas with insufficiently developed communications to connect wired Internet equipment. Two-way satellite Internet is also ideal for combining remote branches of a company into a single network, using video conferencing, monitoring remote objects...

In addition to high-speed Internet services, subscribers using two-way satellite Internet can also use telephony services. Which is important, especially when organizing a business outside of cities with their developed infrastructure. It is possible to organize dedicated satellite SCPC channels. The cost of projects for organizing dedicated channels is calculated individually for each Customer according to specific tasks and requirements.

The speed of the incoming communication channel of two-way satellite Internet can reach up to 10 Mbit/sec, the outgoing channel up to 819 kbit/sec. Tariffs depend on the selected speed and the included monthly traffic.

Two-way satellite Internet supports Internet speed depending on the tariff chosen by the user and the amount of information downloaded. Speed is calculated using FAP technology. .

The disadvantages of symmetric access include the high cost of satellite Internet equipment and work on connecting the system.

Confident reception at dachas all over the country!

Today, the computer is inseparable from the Internet. A computer can be connected to the World Wide Web using various access technologies. Dial-up access is irrevocably a thing of the past. This is being replaced by high-speed Internet, which provides a higher level of reliability and data transfer speed. Satellite Internet with its ability to access the network from almost anywhere is becoming increasingly widespread today. At the same time, the access speed and stability of the connection via satellite Internet are in a number of parameters higher than leading broadband Internet technologies, such as ADSL and even more so.

Satellite Internet is good because it makes it possible not only to work in a mobile office, but also to get away from the bustle of cities, work right in the lap of nature, without worrying about connecting wires. Working outdoors will benefit your health and increase your productivity. Well, if you like to relax in remote corners of the country where communications are poorly developed, then satellite Internet is simply not replaceable. Satellite Internet in the country is a great way to combine work and leisure, change your surroundings and enjoy good Internet in your favorite garden or lake.

Satellite Internet at the dacha is by no means an excess or a luxury. Despite the fact that the cost of transmitted information via satellite is still higher compared to traditional wired access, you save time because satellite Internet is more stable (compared to LTE, WiMAX or Yota) and has increased reliability, and The connection speed will please you.

Corporate data networks using satellite communications

Technologies for duplex satellite Internet access

SCPC technology

A time-tested solution for two-way satellite Internet is duplex SCPC channels created in a point-to-point manner.

The fairly high price per subscriber node does not allow the construction of regional networks using this technology. Duplex SCPC channels are used by relatively large providers in the absence of terrestrial channels or as a backup channel.

Technologies for VSAT networks with a star structure

Today the market offers a number of network technologies with different access methods (TDMA, DAMA, FTDMA) to the space segment. As a rule, they have a star-type structure. The network has a central station with a large-radius antenna, which combines the functions of a gateway to external networks and a control center, as well as user terminals with small-sized antennas.

The remote subscriber terminal has the following characteristics: reception up to 16 Mbit/s, return channel - up to 1 Mbit/s, the ability to organize telephony and fax transmission.

Selecting a technical solution when designing a corporate network using satellite communications

When designing a corporate network, it is advisable to select a technical solution in three stages:

choice of technology (TDM/TDMA, SCPC, MF-TDMA or others..)
selection of relay satellite;
choosing a specific system among those available on the market.

Today, there are several basic technologies for building satellite communication networks. They all have their advantages and disadvantages, but none of them are universal. To improve operational efficiency, many modern systems successfully combine several technologies simultaneously. The main difference between them is the way the satellite repeater resource is used. Let's take a look at these technologies.

Comparison of one-way (asymmetric) and two-way (symmetric) satellite Internet.

One-way satellite internet

Asymmetric (one-way) Internet access via satellite is the most common today. The word “one-sided” or “asymmetrical” scares many people, making them think about the inferiority of this type of connection. To understand whether this is true or not, you must first understand the principles of operation of one-way satellite Internet.

The main distinctive feature of this type of connection is the separation of input and output communication channels. A request is sent from the user via any terrestrial communication channel to the Internet provider server. The data is sent from the provider to the satellite. The input information is transmitted to us from the satellite. Thus, one-way satellite Internet only works to receive information, while the wired communication channel we are used to is used for transmission. This could be Ethernet, ADSL, Dial up modem or GPRS access on a mobile phone and so on.

On the one hand, this is not entirely convenient, because at the same time the subscriber will have to pay for the services of two operators - the input Internet channel from the satellite and the cost of outgoing traffic. But if you look at it, users mainly only get information from the Internet, for example, browsing websites, downloading movies, music, files, etc. Outgoing traffic is minimal (e-mails, communication in the forum, ICQ, etc.). Many wireline providers don't account for outgoing traffic at all. So the costs for outgoing communication are minimal, which also explains the low requirements for the request channel. The terrestrial communication channel must have a speed of at least 1-2 kbit/sec and be relatively reliable. The more stable the connection, the faster the information from the satellite will arrive.

Satellite Internet connection speeds can reach up to 16 Mbit/sec. High speed is possible due to the fact that the subscriber receives Internet services directly from the operator, avoiding numerous intermediaries and long cable connections. Also, satellite Internet is characterized by high throughput of the satellite communication channel. Therefore, channel overloads are practically impossible. And yet, when they arise, the operator quickly solves this problem by expanding the channel.

Most satellite Internet operators offer a variety of tariffs, ranging from unlimited and pay-per-traffic. In many tariffs, subscribers are given the opportunity to change the Internet speed within a few minutes.

Despite all the advantages of Internet access via satellite, there are also disadvantages. There may be a slight delay (about 250 ms) when opening a page, which is mainly noticeable when working with interactive applications. The delay is due to the large distance of the satellite from the received equipment.

I would like to conclude who would benefit from asymmetric (one-way) satellite Internet. These are primarily owners of a country house, a summer residence, medium and small businesses, as well as that category of people who already use Internet services and would like to reduce their costs or increase speed through the additional use of incoming satellite Internet connections.

Two-way satellite internet

Two-way (symmetrical) satellite Internet works both for receiving and transmitting information from the satellite. It looks like this: the user sends a request to the Internet, the transceiver station processes the request and sends it to the satellite, from the satellite the request is sent to the satellite Internet provider, then to the Internet, when a response is received from the network, incoming information from the provider’s server is sent to the satellite , and from the satellite to the user’s transceiver station and then to his computer.

Thus, to work with two-way satellite Internet, there is no need to connect an additional outgoing communication channel; the function of receiving and transmitting information is performed by the user’s satellite receiving and transmitting antenna. This connection is more reliable and stable, in contrast to a one-way type of access, because the user does not depend on failures in the outgoing (request) channels (GPRS on a mobile phone, Ethernet, ADSL, Dial up), the request is instantly processed and transmitted to the satellite. This is the main advantage of two-way access.

Who are the most common users of two-way Internet? These are primarily educational and medical institutions, hotel complexes, hunting and fishing clubs, owners of country houses and cottages and other structures located in areas with insufficiently developed communications for connecting wired Internet. Two-way satellite Internet is also ideal for connecting remote company branches into a single network, using video conferencing, monitoring remote objects, etc.

Today it is impossible to imagine life without the Internet. But sometimes, due to difficult terrain, lack of conditions and remoteness of the place of residence, it is difficult to connect to the World Wide Web. In this case, satellite Internet turns out to be indispensable. It’s quite easy to configure it with your own hands. If something doesn’t work out, you can always call a specialist.

Satellite Internet: what is it?

This type of Internet is access to the Internet via satellite. In this case, the signal from its terminal is fed to a special antenna, which has a built-in receiver, and only then to the computer. It moves across the network at a fairly high speed.

Equipment for setting up satellite Internet is not cheap, but the quality completely justifies all the costs. You can connect satellite Internet with your own hands; to do this, you just need to buy a set of equipment and follow the instructions.

All necessary programs are installed on the computer. And after installing the equipment, all that remains is to test the equipment, choose a provider, tariff and pay for the service.

Types of satellite connection

The Internet broadcast from a satellite is divided into two types: one-way and two-way. You can set up both satellite Internet yourself or call a specialist who will do it much faster.

In a one-way connection, the incoming signal comes from the satellite, and the outgoing signal comes through terrestrial telecommunications or via the mobile Internet. The speed of one-way (asymmetric) Internet is not as high as compared to two-way Internet, but the cost of tariff plans is affordable. This is due to the reduction in costs for return traffic.

In symmetrical Internet (two-way) or VSAT, the incoming and outgoing channels pass through the satellite. Communication is carried out through a modem-transmitter tuned to the signal. The satellite dish here plays the role of a teleport, transmitting information at a speed of 1 Mb/s. This kind of Internet is expensive, but the quality is excellent.

Due to the high cost, two-way is rarely used, mainly for organizations located far from large cities. The asymmetric option is more popular and available to ordinary subscribers.

Operating principle

If you connect satellite Internet with your own hands, the principle of its operation will be as follows. The user, using a proxy server or virtual VPN network, sends a signal to the provider, which redirects it to the satellite. The received stream is amplified several times and enters the satellite dish receiver. As a rule, each satellite covers a certain part of the globe, which is equal to an area of several thousand square kilometers. In this case, the flow power increases towards the center, and weakens closer to the edge.

The receiving head or convector on a dish is connected to a DVB card located in the PCI slot of the computer. From here the converted signal reaches the user. A satellite may have several providers. Before connecting to the Internet, you must select a satellite and the appropriate Internet provider.

Equipment for one-way Internet

To connect one-way satellite Internet with your own hands, you need to purchase a set of equipment. It usually includes:

PCI/USB DVB-S/S2 card. It is distinguished by the fastest possible stream transmission from the satellite. Decodes the signal and transmits it to a personal computer.
Satellite antenna. Its choice depends on the provider and the satellite from which the signal is broadcast.
Converter. It is located in the focus of the satellite dish and receives the signal. Redirects the received stream to a DVB card, where it undergoes further conversion. Ku-band converters with linear polarization are often used. In rare cases, a circularly polarized element is used.
Coaxial cable. Connects the converter and the DVB card together. To do this, use special connectors with an F-connector.
Modem or telephone. Used as an outgoing channel with one-way technology. This could be a USB modem with EDGE (GPRS), a fiber optic or ADSL telephone line, or a dial-up connection.

The finished set of equipment just needs to be installed according to the instructions. By the way, the device for transmitting the outgoing stream is purchased separately.

Equipment for two-way

When connecting VSAT, data reception and transmission occurs only via satellite channels, and there is no need for additional ground-based sources. If you install two-way satellite Internet with your own hands correctly, then its operation will not be affected by weather conditions. To install you need to purchase:

Ku-band satellite dish. It receives and transmits signals. The standard diameter is 1.2-1.8 m.
Blocks. The transmitting BUC signal and the receiving LNB stream, which are mounted on the satellite dish feed. They are universal and suitable for all types of antennas. They are not connected to a satellite terminal.
A terminal responsible for receiving and transmitting satellite streams.

Two-way Internet allows you to develop high data transfer speeds. Operates independently of ground equipment. The only significant disadvantage is its high cost.

Advantages

It is not difficult to install free satellite Internet with your own hands; just read the instructions that come with the equipment. The main advantages of this connection are:

low price of traffic compared to GPRS and DSL;
good speed even with poor performance of the land line;
the ability to reach higher speeds than land-based connections such as GPRS and DSL;
ability to connect to satellite TV;
connection to the Network anywhere within the satellite coverage area;
quick commissioning of equipment;
ease of use.

You can feel all the positive aspects of using satellite Internet only if you use this service yourself.

Negative sides

You can connect free satellite Internet with your own hands in a matter of hours. But this type of communication has its drawbacks:

the receiving antenna must be strictly oriented towards the satellite, otherwise the signal will stop;
due to the great distance from the earth (about 36 thousand km), a high ping is observed;
Terrestrial types of Internet are much cheaper than satellite, especially in big cities. The costs of maintaining a satellite are quite high, and part of them falls on the shoulders of subscribers;
Some satellite companies provide an IP address that does not correspond to your place of residence, which causes search engines to malfunction.

Despite the above disadvantages, satellite Internet remains in demand, and the equipment necessary for its transmission is constantly being improved, which creates a great future for it.

About satellite providers

It’s not difficult to set up satellite Internet and TV yourself, but at the first stage you should decide on the provider that will provide the service. The most popular are:

SatGate;
"Rainbow-Internet";
"Tricolor-Internet";
StarBlazer;
skyds;
Lansat;
"STV";
"Gazprom Space Systems";
Helios;
OpenSky;
Spectrumsat;
GxSat.

They all work on DVB-S or DVB-S2 satellite sources. This type of connection allows you to carry out the most popular operations - surfing, sending and receiving data, watching video files. For legal entities, there are individual connection schemes and IP addresses are allocated.

Basically, all providers turn in their work to such satellites as HorBird, Sirius 2, Astra 19.2, Eutelsat, Astra - 2C, Yamal-200-2, etc. There are a variety of tariffs in terms of speed and price. There are limited and unlimited. To choose the right provider, you need to determine what function the Internet should perform.

How to connect free satellite Internet with your own hands

Setting up satellite Internet with your own hands is carried out in several stages. First, attach the satellite dish to the wall or roof of the building. The antenna mirror is oriented towards the satellite. A compass will help you select the desired position, and the satellite coordinates are determined using the Satellite Antenna Alignment program.

The service is installed free of charge and in advance of equipment installation. The exact coordinates of your location and the location of the satellite are entered into the program. The service provides the angle, azimuth and other data necessary for the correct orientation of the antenna.

Subsequently, the DVB card is inserted into the PCI slot of the computer. It acts as a satellite modem, receiving, converting and transmitting the signal.

After the equipment is installed in the system unit, its debugging begins. This is a complex process that takes a lot of time. To do this, one person is in front of the computer and monitors the signal from the satellite, which the program will show when it is detected, and the other adjusts the position of the dish.

If the setup is carried out by one person, then in the program he can select the sound notification function, and he himself will adjust the antenna. Instead of a DVB card, an external card is installed in the laptop, connected via a USB connector. After installing all components, the equipment is tested.

To completely solve the question of how to make satellite Internet with your own hands, it takes a professional about two hours.

Free Internet via a satellite dish with your own hands: myth or reality?

You can set up free Internet via a satellite dish yourself if you have certain knowledge. But for these purposes you will need special equipment.

The satellite does not transmit a signal to any one device, but sends a stream to all devices capable of receiving it. Subscribers who pay for the service receive already filtered information that corresponds to the client’s request. Other people's traffic bypasses it.

Those who want to use satellite Internet for free should take into account that this type of connection will have a very specific format. There will be a lot of unsystematic traffic, which will cause some difficulties in dealing with it. And although there are filters that can select the necessary files in this situation, this type of communication is unlikely to bring pleasure and allow you to enjoy all the possibilities of the Internet.

About tariffs

After you have connected the Internet via a satellite dish with your own hands, you should decide on the provider and tariffs. All tariffs are divided into the following types:

with payment for the amount of traffic used;
conditionally unlimited, which already includes a certain amount of traffic (exceeding the norm is paid additionally);
unlimited, with a fixed subscription rate;
for legal entities.

Internet at night is cheaper than during the day and can be unlimited. Each subscriber in his personal account is given the opportunity to independently manage services, increase speed, and switch to another tariff plan.

For one-way connection types, additional outgoing charges may apply. The cost of incoming traffic per 1 MB fluctuates around 0.5-1.5 rubles. The price for an unlimited tariff, depending on the speed (from 500 Kb/s to 4 Mb/s) varies from 500 to 1200 rubles.

Two-way satellite Internet will cost more, but the data transfer speed here is much higher and reaches 10 Mb/s. The monthly subscription fee ranges from 600 rubles. up to 20 thousand rubles.

Cost of equipment

You can also connect satellite Internet to a private house with your own hands. The price of equipment using asymmetric technology, together with a modem for the outgoing signal, will be about 5 thousand rubles. Ready-made kits are more expensive. The price of finished equipment for two-way reaches 30-70 thousand rubles. Each package contains a subscription to a specific provider.

Due to the large number of wireless networks, satellite Internet is losing its popularity. However, in those regions where it is not possible to use the services of ground operators, it remains the only alternative.
