For businesses needing private meshed networks capable of dynamically handling high bandwidth traffic, Elsacom's wideband DAMA service provides an economical solution. The DSAT 2000 system for multi-service, multinational networks offers an attractively - priced, reliable solution optimised for networks based on the IP protocol, ATM , Frame Relay or ISDN.
The D-SAT 2000 multi-transponder transmission capability offers users access to one of the most flexible methods of integrating company-wide business communication networks together with all the benefits of satellite communication. D-SAT 2000 is ideal for a broad range of voice, video, data, Internet, and multimedia applications. This means high reliability connections and a cost-effective network meeting today's business communications requirements.
All that is needed is a single unit and a standard antenna and transceiver for multiple services and applications (video, data, voice, fax and multimedia) all tied into one.
The user terminal enables single-hop, mesh satellite networks with switched bandwidth-on-demand services for voice, video, data, and multimedia applications. Unlike conventional VSAT systems, the system capacity is allocated for both circuit- and packet-switched traffic in a dynamic fashion. It uses multi-frequency TDMA to achieve very high efficiency and flexibility in satellite bandwidth management. Multiple-beam operation provides excellent opportunities for international network expansion.
DAMA (Dynamically allocated) bandwidth allows end-users to determine their use and limit their costs. There is no hefty space-segment investment, but there is high transmission capacity and real-time interactivity on call. An original tariff structure is offered to give a cost-effective service to the final users for any combination of Pre-Assigned Multiple Access (PAMA) and DAMA with a users' real consumption charges (per minute charges).
The D-SAT 2000 system is based on the market leading Linkway 2000 technology developed by Viasat and the service is operated on Eutelsat satellites.
