The Internet has undoubtedly become the primary means for national and international communication it is the most powerful global computer network in the world connecting Research institutions, cyber cafés, schools, libraries, businesses, government agencies, and individual computer users giving access to the exchange of ideas and information, and it has been identified as a condition for survival of any business today.

This industry has been doubling in size every 6 months for the last 2 years, this growth will continue.

However, it is important to know that connecting to the internet via VSAT or becoming an ISP goes beyond just picking up VSAT equipment anywhere without bothering to know the purpose for which the product was designed. Cyber cafes, Universities, Research institutions, Hotels, Banks, Government Institutions etc are classified as heavy Internet users. It is important to understand that several VSAT Internet solutions available today are designed for specific purposes, the Antenna “Dish”, may look alike, but the Radio and The Modem combination are usually designed for specific purposes.

Even right now around the world, there are several VSAT internet solutions that are designed for home / small users, which are been sold to heavy users, without explaining to them the limitations of what they are selling to them, maybe because they just want to make sale at all cost, or probably because most customers do not have the adequate VSAT product knowledge required to make proper decision regarding their VSAT projects.

Cyber cafes, Universities, Research institutions, Hotels, Banks, oil, military, Government Institutions etc are advised to get detailed hidden information about any VSAT internet products they intend to acquire before placing order. Sometime cost, though important may not be the only deciding factor. Whoever wishes to invest into VSAT should endeavor to understand the following before finalizing his decision.

• The Antenna (dish) size- the bigger the dish the better the performance

• The Bandwidth type – shared or dedicated - shared network may be frustrating at peek period particularly if the network does not have large enough bandwidth, or if the shared network is over populated or the sharing technology is defective. But of course some savings for those who could get going with shared service.

• VoIP support- those interested in international calls over the Internet should remember to investigate the support for effective VoIP.

• The VSAT solution type (C/KU Band) C-band though fairly more expensive than some ku-band; it is not affected by “rain fade”. A lot of efforts are in progress now in attempt to reduce the “rain fade” effect one of which is “turbo code”, Turbo code is designed to optimize ku-band by reducing the effect of rain fade. Those buying ku-band should ensure that their ku-band provider understands and support latest technologies to optimize ku-band performance during heavy rain.

Those planning to distribute their VSAT Internet link among several locations or resell their service are advised to ensure they purchase equipment that support their plan with focus on growth. Investors should be reminded that those who would get the best out of their VSAT Internet investment are those who take the extra step to understand these issues as they affect connecting directly to the Internet via reliable Satellite Solution.
