Our lightweight “FlyAway” deployable VSAT system provides up to 8Mbps internet,

anywhere in the world.

By using NSSLGlobal’s custom designed pointing application, the Broad-IP “FlyAway” can be

easily set up by the user without the need for a VSAT engineer

to achieve optimum signal quality in a matter of minutes.

Our Broad-IP packages allow unlimited internet for a fixed monthly fee, making this a cost effective

solution for high data users.

NSSL’s smartphone app permits “line-up” of the flyaway VSAT with the satellite without the need for expensive, bulky and complex spectrum analysers. It requires minimum training to quickly deploy and operate the system in a matter of 15-20 minutes.

The Smartphone is placed in a cradle mounted to the Block Up-Converter. In this position all three axes (Azimuth, Elevation and Polarisation) are measured.The Broad-IP “FlyAway” pointing Android app then carefully guides you through three pointing stages:

1. Coarse Pointing • Using the Smartphone’s built-in GPS, electronic compass and tilt sensors the

user is able to locate the correct area of the sky to search for a satellite signal to within 3°.

2. Satfinder Peaking • Using the Satfinder provided the user is able to peak the receive signal to each satellite in the small

search area until the Satlink modem obtains receive lock on the Broad-IP signal.

3. Fine Pointing • Via a WiFi link, the “FlyAway” pointing app then continuously reads the receive SNR from the Satlink

modem and plays a tone indicating the signal strength. Once this is optimised the installer enables the Satlink modem’s both-way radio link. Fine-pointing now continues, but based on the Tx Eb/No reading. This is the transmit signal quality as measured back at the NSSLGlobal Teleport and signalled back to the Satlink modem via the DVBS2-RCS signalling. This is used to further fine-tune the Azimuth, Elevation and Polarisation for optimal signal quality as Tx is more critical than Rx SNR.

EIRP & TX Power Management • The maximum IF output power from the Satlink modem is pre-calibrated with the 5 metres of RG6

provided as standard. If the 20-metre extension cable is used as well this calibration will also ensure the Block Up-Converter does not saturate.

• The Satlink Hub has a maximum Eb/No allowed for each Satlink modem. This hub feature is invoked to automatically control the EIRP of the ““FlyAway” ” so that the target Eb/No is never exceeded. When trained in this technique a fast line-up is possible and the user does not need a complex spectrum analyser to quickly deploy their Ku-band Broad-IP terminal (The extent to which a line-up call to the PMOC is still needed is being evaluated) .

The Smartphone app also provides extensive trouble shooting aids. Once online, the Smartphone also provides a web browser, email client and SIP client for VOIP calls via the “FlyAway”.
