  • VSATPlus 3 is used for full mesh voice and SCADA data communications

between SCADA control center and remotely controlled facilities

  • Ease of network connectivity allows for the multiple control centers

  • Simple operation allows for training field personnel by system integrator/operator

VSATPlus 3 Advantages for SCADA applications

 

VSATPlus 3 Hubless operation for greater reliability

  • No expensive hub system

  • Equipment is at customer premise

  • No landline to shared teleport

  • Alternative network built into system

  • No need for a second hub

  • No single point of failure

  • Geographic redundancy allows traffic flow even if the gateway goes down

VSATPlus 3 Ease of Operation allows personnel to focus on running the pipeline and not the network

  • Same equipment at each site

  • Simplifies training and spares

  • Automatous operation supports unmanned sites

VSATPlus 3 Network scales from small to large by adding carriers (up to 32) allow future growth

  • Expansion is simple by just adding carriers

  • Supports large number of stations

 

VSATPlus 3 Full mesh communications is the ultimate in operation flexibility

  • Allows voice and SCADA in the same network

  • Allows for multiple regional SCADA control stations that can back each other up

VSATPlus 3 Bandwidth on demand reduces space segment costs and supports the VSAT network used for multiple purposes

  • Bandwidth on Demand uses bandwidth only for the remote station being polled and then can be released for polling the next remote station

  • Can add other IP applications like VOIP without effecting SCADA application traffic

  • Same network bandwidth can be shared to backup terrestrial links in the case of an outage
