Satellite internet: Europe service providers

European satellite broadband digital access via two-way dish.

Satellite broadband and email via direct two-way customer dish terminals is now possible throughout Europe following a maturing of the technology and building of European VSAT hub dishes. Fast web downloads, email, ftp file transfers and streaming video and audio are achieved with speeds of typically several hundred kbit/s, using a share of a high bandwidth outlink connection from a large hub station with a rate of up to 36 Msps (similar to a sat TV DVB-S).

Europe satellite broadband capacity is generally shared.  Services for home and small office have higher sharing ratios, but are lower cost than services for business where dedicated 1:1 CIR or low ratio sharing is the rule.

Service providers have tariffs for various service bit rates and sharing ratios. Email and internet web browsing are the usual intended use. For applications requiring substantial uploading of data or for real time two way video or VoIP ask about higher price options.

The customer premise terminal or satellite interactive terminal (SIT) comprises a sat antenna dish, similar to satellite TV, together with an indoor box unit.   Ethernet cable or USB cable links one or more local PCs.    The arrangement is suitable for both home use and for small office applications. The radio modules on the front of the dish receive the out link (or downlink) using a conventional sat. television LNB (low noise block down converter) and transmit the return link (or uplink) data using an outdoor transmit block up converter (BUC). The wireless service is always-on direct access and not dependant on dial up or ADSL lines. The hub dish is where the VSAT Operator and ISP providers are located with a very high speed digital backbone for worldwide networking connection.

Ku band refers to 11-12 and 14 GHz operation. C band (4/6 GHz) needs generally larger customer antennas but suffers less from heavy rain fading in the tropics.

This web site is simply intended to be helpful, it does not use pop-ups, flash or other nonsense. There may be errors on this page.  The setting up and control of satellite broadband VSATs in Europe using return channel system satellite interactive terminals is controlled from the hub providers so any problem sites can be switched off remotely until a technician attends. Also, the equipment design and frequency bands comply to Europe regulatory "type approval" for general use so that operation does not cause interference to other services or continue to require individual licence / licensing for vsat internet access. Non-approved terminals will continue to require individual licensing.
