VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) uses small satellite dishes to provide internet access anywhere by establishing an independent wireless link without relying on local infrastructure, offering advantages like availability, diversity, homogeneity, security, and affordable pricing. However, VSAT also has some disadvantages like higher latency due to satellites in geosynchronous orbit making it unsuitable for online gaming, the need for outdoor antennas complicating installation, and potential signal loss during heavy rain.
6. Availability − It can deploy VSAT services anywhere.
Diversity − It offers an entirely independent wireless link from
local infrastructure, a good backup for disaster recovery.
Homogeneity − VSAT enables us to give the same speed and
strength at all locations.
Security − The connection is secure as there is a private layer
of the network over the air.
Affordable − The pricing is very affordable.

7. The disadvantages of VSAT
Latency − VSAT technology uses satellites in
geosynchronous orbit Poor choice for online gaming.
Installation − It requires an outdoor antenna. This
makes installation a big problem.
Loss of signal in heavy rain.
