VSAT Antennas, Transceivers and Modems

Professional Grade Satellite Internet Service

VSAT – “Very Small Aperture Terminal” – is a satellite ground station that allows businesses and individuals to transmit and receive data, voice and video via satellites. The dish antenna will always be smaller than 3.8 meters in this classification.

Many VSAT dishes are designed to be fixed: not moved after installation. Examples of this are the iDirect VSAT satellite equipment, and the SCADASat solution. The Toughsat is designed to be stationary when in active use, but is otherwise mobile (attached to a vehicle, trailer, or carried by hand). And the Kymeta u8 is a rare in-motion VSAT device.

Ground Control manufactures a number of auto-deploy antennas at our plant in California, and we work with various trusted modem and HUB technologies.

All Ground Control VSAT plans offer:

High speed
Low contention
Low latency
Net neutrality
Multi-user access
Application friendly
Highly predictable connections

Toughsat Series

The Toughsat Series Mobile VSAT systems are complete Ready-To-Go systems that may include high-speed iDirect Internet service from Ground Control or any iDirect service provider of your choice worldwide.

Ground Control manufactures the Toughsat Mobile VSAT systems at our plant in California.

Fixed VSAT Solutions

A popular fixed satellite solution uses the Evolution X1 satellite gateway connected to our 1.2 meter satellite dish with a 3 watt BUC (transmitter) on a non-penetrating mount, or ground mounted pole and includes a free Red Phone for emergency voice communications with other Red Phones.

VOIP Phones: optimized and cost effective voice calling over satellite

Other VSAT Services

The Kymeta u8 is designed to be vehicle-mounted and used while on the move. It's effective in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

In contrast, the SCADASat is for IoT / M2M applications; it delivers a completely private satellite network which is ideal for protecting critical national infrastructure.

Ground Control Uses iDirect Service

Much of our fixed and mobile satellite equipment uses the highly optimized iDirect satellite service that has consistently delivered outstanding performance with all forms of TCP-IP traffic, such as VPN, VOIP, phone, and video streaming.

Dual-Matrix VSAT Service

One service plan connects with two completely different satellites and satellite networks for numerous benefits such as redundancy or signal obstacle avoidance. Designed for our mobile dishes, a one-button push is all it takes to select and connect with a different satellite.

Installation

Once you’ve chosen a fixed or mobile satellite antenna, Ground Control will help you find the best location for dish installation. A certified technician will install and integrate a satellite system normally within one business day. With fixed installations, placement may be affected by obstacles between the satellite and the dish, so a site survey may be required. You may do your own site survey by using our look angle calculator once you know which satellite you’ll be connecting with.
