VSAT Users and Uses

One of the unique features of comsys is that we actually track the VSAT market by end user. Our Star TDMA database contains over 21,000 contract records and our DAMA database over 4,900.  We also track the number of SCPC links being operated by over 350 operators globally.  Several key strengths have led to the unique position of our database in this industry:

In at the beginning:

we have been tracking the industry since its inception in 1985 - over 20 years.

Trust:

we work with all of the operators and manufacturers in the market and hold a great deal of their confidential information which is used to provide our analysis without compromising the contract details.

Some examples of users of VSAT systems which are not confidential follow.  You have our permission to quote this information providing that you label it as © and reference is made at each use to this www site (www.comsys.co.uk).

The following examples are taken from major networks around the world. Notice how many are both economically important to a country - a large stock exchange or a national bank for example.  However, VSAT networks do not have to be huge and tiny networks are deployed in all parts of the world including many highly developed countries.  It is also interesting to see that these tiny networks include some huge names - Dunlop and Halliburton for example.  This shows how remarkably flexible and adaptable VSAT technology is.
