Understanding VSAT and Network Packet Loss

Related Topics: packet, Automatic repeat request

Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a satellite communication technology that is widely used in remote areas where terrestrial communication infrastructure is either unavailable or unreliable. VSAT is a reliable and cost-effective solution for businesses and organizations that require high-speed internet connectivity, voice, and data communication services. However, like any other communication technology, VSAT is not immune to network packet loss.

Network packet loss is a common problem that occurs when data packets fail to reach their intended destination. Packet loss can be caused by various factors, including network congestion, hardware failure, software bugs, and environmental factors such as weather conditions.
