The SatwayConnect Broadband Terminal is a state-of-the-art, high performance
equipment package designed to provide highspeed
satellite internet access for the consumer, small office
and home office markets. Because it adds true Broadband
experience to low cost internet access, SatwayConnect allows ISPs or
other IP based service providers to address their market with a
truly viable business model.
The SatwayConnect Broadband terminal
is capable of supporting a full range of IP services, such as VoIP,
multicasting, and intranet services.
For a true Broadband experience, the SatwayConnect terminal
implements the most efficient technologies, such as DVB-S2
modulation in the forward link, rain fade countermeasures* in
the return link, and IP traffic enhancement software such as TCP
acceleration, pre-fetching and encryption.
Contrary to other interactive satellite systems, SatwayConnect
terminals are available with a unique Point & Play® **
installation capability that allows the end-user to autonomously
install the full terminal without any specific qualification or
expensive tool. Point & Play therefore avoids the need for
costly installer services, reduces field maintenance costs and
improves end-user satisfaction. Point & Play is an innovative
self-installation system consisting of a small antenna pointing
tool (shipped with the terminal), combined with advanced
software embedded in the indoor modem. It allows the installer
to easily position the antenna correctly by providing satellite
identification and feedback on both signal quality and lock.
The SatwayConnect terminal and the Point & Play system do not
require any software to be installed on the end-users’ computer.
The indoor satellite modem is completely plug and play and
simpler to install than an ADSL or cable modem.
Thanks to a unique design of both the compact indoor terminal
and the lightweight, low power outdoor equipment, the cost
of the terminal is kept below today’s most competitive systems
available on the market.
