Satellite Communications Key Terms


Satellite communications is a field that's changing constantly. As digital technology becomes more popular, satellite communications offer more opportunity. Satellites once were something only the government used, and then satellite television became popular. Now satellite communications include mobile satellite systems and even Internet in places where dial-up used to be the only option. To fully understand what's available through satellite communications, there are some key terms to study, such as flyaway systems and bandwidth.

Satellite terminals

Satellite terminals allow you to connect to broadband Internet service no matter where you are.

Satellite broadband

Broadband allows you to connect to the Internet via a satellite instead of connecting via a phone line (dial up), digital subscriber line (DSL) or cable. Most people with a broadband Internet connection obtain it because they live within a certain distance of a phone center. However, people who live in rural areas and still want broadband can connect via satellite.

Mobile satellite

If you're on the go, mobile satellite technology can help. Mobile satellite is exactly what it sounds like: satellite technology that's mobile. Most commonly, the satellite and all other required equipment is hooked up inside a vehicle.

Flyaway systems

Flyaway systems are similar to mobile satellite technology except they're even more portable. While mobile satellite technology is mounted in a vehicle, flyaway units are mounted onto shippable waterproof cases. That means you can have the benefits of satellite in places where even a vehicle can't go.

Digital broadcasting, digital video broadcasting

Gone are the days of analog television; digital broadcasting is the new standard. With satellite communications, digital video broadcasting produces audio and video that's crisp and clean.

Bandwidth

Satellite communications involves sending and receiving digital information. The frequency range of the device that sends and receives is the bandwidth.
