Advantech Demonstrates DVB-RCS VSAT Terminal

In collaboration with Hakusan Corp. and JSAT Corp., Advantech Satellite Networks has demonstrated the industry’s first DVB-RCS VSAT terminal operating in a mesh topology where each VSAT terminal relays data via satellite to another terminal, Advantech announced June 5.

The configuration minimizes the need for a centralized uplink site, reducing bandwidth and delay by half. A high-resolution TV conferencing system was demonstrated over a mesh network of three DVB-RCS VSAT terminals with each VSAT terminal able to communicate with other terminals via a single hop satellite link, the company said.
