A COMPLETE SATELLITE SOLUTION FOR BUSINESS NETWORKS

LANDSTAR, 120cm RX/TX ANTENNA AND KA-BAND COST-EFFECTIVE BUNDLING OFFERS

LandSTAR from MediaNET is the world's first multimedia service to feature on-board satellite multiplexing of video, audio and data. LandSTAR avoids long backhauls to a central location and enables easy satellite contributions. The system collects uplink signals from many different geographic locations, packages them on-board the satellite and delivers them to your targeted audience.

Available on 4 Ka-band HOT BIRD™ 6 transponders (and soon on the Ka- and Ku-band W3A satellite), LandSTAR uses1.2 meters transmitting antennas, substantially reducing companies uplinking investment. By directly linking to the satellite, investment in set-up time, terrestrial feeder links and centralised uplink stations also drops significantly.

APPLICATIONS:

//Mesh or hybrid network topologies
//Local and wide area networks
//Business TV
//Videoconferencing
//Telemedicine and e-Learning
//Voice over IP and telephony
//Corporate intranets and vpn
//Telecommunications infrastructure
//Disaster recovery

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The LandSTAR Ka-band terminal is a compact unit 13-inches/31-centimeters wide and 1 rack-unit high and can receive a downlink stream of up to 38 Mbps. This stream is assembled by the HOTBIRD™ 6 satellite from as many as six uplink carriers, each with a net bit rate of approximately 6 Mbps, or 18 uplink carriers each with a net bit rate of approx 2 Mbps. LandSTAR can be operated in either continuous (SCPC) or burst (TDMA) mode, depending on your traffic pattern.

KEY TECHNICAL FACTS:

// Hubless broadband networks
// Independent uplink from small transmit stations
// Turbo Coded uplink streams
// Reed Solomon downlink stream and Viterbi coded
// Bi-directional communications in meshed configuration
// Handles as many as six uplink carriers
// High Availibility and reliability
// Operates in either continuous (SCPC) or burst (TDMA) mode depending on traffic pattern
