What is VSAT?

VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna smaller than 3 meters. VSATs are commonly used for data, voice, and video communications. They're often deployed in remote locations or where terrestrial infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable, providing connectivity for applications like internet access, point-of-sale systems, and private networks.
