VSAT Based Rural NetworkIntroduction
Many inhabitants of rural remote areas currently have no way
of communicating locally or with the outside world as noservices are available in their poor remote regions. As asolution, a VSAT associated with a local loop is employed.
Voice and data communications are essential to the economic
development of a region, and it has been shown that trafficincreases rapidly as soon as the service is available.

Why VSAT VSATs guarantee seamless global communication even across the last mile.
A VSAT Network can be provided through a lease arrangement with fixedtransmission costs regardless of distance .
VSAT Networks offer superior flexibility and performance. Adding a site isquick and easy. Mobility is an other advantage
VSATs service charges depend on the bandwidth, which is allocated tonetwork in line with your requirements. Whereas in a leased line, you get adedicated circuit in multiples of 64 Kbps whether you need that amount ofbandwidth or not.
Due to their high demand and mass production, VSAT terminals prices arefalling, which makes it affordable and the choice to most business sites.

Why WLLShorter implementation time
The costs to connect a customer are independent of the distance
Higher flexibility
Lower maintenance costs

Proposed System The types of customers the system is targeting are residence/non residence/corporateoffices.
The system consists of a single hub Earth station, a geostationary satellite ( ARABSAT30.5 E global coverage) and a number of VSAT terminals.
Each VSAT earth station send and receives 64 Kbps data stream to and from the hub usingBPSK and half rate error correction (FEC) coding giving a bit rate of 128 Kbps.
Using filters (0.25) gives a channel bandwidth of 160 KHZ. Adding 40 KHZ guard bandbetween channels gives a total bandwidth of 200 KHZ per channel.
Data from VSAT to hub (inbound link) is (SCPC-DAMA) .
Data from hub to VSAT is sent using a continuous time division multiplexing (TDM) streamof packets.
The system can be used to transmit voice, data and fax.
System capacity is approximately 566 available 64 Kbps trunked channels with 5%blocking probability. Can reach up to 5540 channels if voice is compressed to 9.6 Kbps.

M u lt ip le A c c e s s S c h e m e Star hub configuration with frequency division multiple access, demandassigned single carrier per channel (DAMA SCPC).
A pool of satellite channels are used, which are available for use by anystation in that network. On demand, a pair of available channels is assigned So
that a call can be established. Once the call is completed, the channels are returned to the pool for anassignment to another call. Since the satellite resource is used only in pro-portion to the active circuits and their holding times, this is ideally suited forvoice traffic and data traffic in batch mode.

Delay Considerations
Processing delay at the VSAT terminal = 50 ms
Retransmission delay due to error (BER 10*-6) = 0 (Negligible)
Satellite delay = 253 ms (one way round trip)
Other terrestrial and processing delays = 50 ms (may be longer for databaseapplications)
Approximate 1 way trip delay = 50+50+253 = 350 ms = 0.35 seconds.
This will be doubled (0.70 seconds) if the call is from VSAT site to VSAT site.

Conclusion and Future Work Similar Systems already tested successfully in rural areas in Peru, many parts of
Africa, India, Malaysia and other countries.
System can be upgraded to deploy GSM through VSAT (Iraq scenario), ATM
machine, POS, DBS, etc.
More work can be done to reduce the overall system cost and improve systemdelay, by considering LEO orbits or using a space loop for example.
