VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal. It uses the satellite to transmit and receive data, voice, and video communications between sites. The VSAT antennas can be mounted or even made portable.

The three main benefits of using VSAT are as follows:

• Rapid deployment. Compared to traditional communication infrastructures, VSAT can be more quickly deployed to geographically remote sites.
• Availability. VSAT works from virtually any location on Earth, making it an ideal solution to stay connected from any rural location.
• Cost efficacy. The cost of a VSAT service is not dependent on the site's location, which makes it a cost-effective way to get internet access outside the coverage of terrestrial networks.

VSATs links are very reliable, offering 99.7% availability.

A site survey is first conducted to determine the best location for the VSAT antenna, taking into consideration space constraints, antenna look-angle, cable routing and space for the indoor satellite modem. The VSAT antenna can be installed on the rooftop, on the ground, or even be mounted on the wall.
