OverviewThis timely book presents the latest findings in the area of satellite communications. It stresses VSAT's crucial role as a means of providing universal access to broadband internet by bridging the gap between rural and urban areas, thus reducing the digital divide . The authors have identified the lack of available information for applying VSAT in this context: the lack of guidance concerning network roll out, expansions, operation and maintenance issues. Their primary aim, therefore, is to propose the latest tools and models for designing and dimensioning cost-effective broadband VSAT networks. The strategies put forward are accompanied by key considerations for ensuring mid- and long-term sustainability and stability. This amply illustrated resource puts the hot topic of the digital divide under the spotlight and offers a diverse range of cost-effective solutions that aim to eradicate the problem.
