Abstract
Advances in satellite technology in the area of very small aperture terminals (VSATs) offer economical data and voice services for corporate networks and rural applications. The authors describe VSAT application and technology with emphasis on analyzing the issues of quality after the sale. The quality and maintenance requirements of the VSAT networks in operation are defined. The reliability, maintainability, and availability calculations for VSAT networks with different topologies are evaluated. Results show that both star and point-to-point VSAT networks are capable of meeting higher availability standards.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
