How it works?

VSAT (Cheap Satellite Internet in the market today) serves home and business users. A VSAT end user needs a box (IDU) that interfaces between the user's computer and an outside antenna with a transceiver (antenna dish or ODU). The ODU receives or sends a signal to a satellite transponder in the sky.

The satellite sends and receives signals from an earth station computer that acts as a hub (Earth Station) for the system. Each end user is interconnected with the hub station via the satellite in a star topology. For one end user to communicate with another, each transmission has to first go to the hub station, which retransmits it via the satellite to the other end user's VSAT. VSAT handles data, voice, and video signals.



Our Cheap Satellite Internet, VSAT lets your business expand globally with the most efficient, state-of-the-art communication technology.

Whatever your communications needs, TM is here to ensure that your business is able to establish
superior communication links across the globe in the shortest possible time, with maximum security
and reliability to let you transcend the boundaries of space & time.

What is VSAT?

VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal. It is a small satellite dish that is capable of both receiving and sending satellite signals. VSAT systems can be designed to serve both broadcast and interactive applications whether data, voice or video, which are now being served by terrestrial lines. Cheap Satellite Internet.

What is VSAT StarNet?

VSAT (
Cheap Satellite Internet.) StarNet services benefit from the latest and best VSAT technology in the market. It is 100% IP network to support the IP market. It offers highly reliable, flexible support of integrated multimedia communications. Compared to alternative technologies, VSAT StarNet offers customers the following features and benefits:

  • Star network topology - offers end-to-end shared hub services for network requirements that cannot economically support a dedicated hub and operated by experienced staff to ensure optimum service levels.
  • Bandwidth-on-Demand - architecture automatically allocates a pool of bandwidth to meet customer requirements of any site. The customer can move or add host computers and PABX’s without having to re-engineer or re-size the network. Servers may be centralized or distributed. The bandwidth automatically “follows” the new traffic patterns.
  • Scalability of network capacity - The aggregate network capacity can be increase from time to time as the number of sites and volume per site grows.
  • Modularity and open system architecture - supports modular and open system architecture. The customer can expand the number of interfaces at the indoor unit as he requires.
  • Economics of statistical multiplexing - Multiple applications share the same bandwidth. The customer uses and pays for less total bandwidth than with the more traditional multiple dedicated network approaches.
  • Network Management and Control – operating on global standards and operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for some of major Earth Stations.
  • Cost effective solution - provides cost-effective communication solutions with high level functionality and performance since the pricing is distance insensitive. It offers a competitive alternative even for countries, which have a high degree of communication infrastructure.

Why VSAT StarNet?

Our VSAT StarNet services benefit from the latest and best VSAT technology in the market. The dish is small, easily transportable and installation lead-time is much shorter if compared to terrestrial links. In addition, VSAT network allows rapid, low-cost network re-configuration and expansion to meet new or unexpected business requirements.

What’s the difference between VSAT StarNet and other VSAT in the market?

There are several differences between VSAT StarNet and other VSAT in the market today:

  • It is 100% IP network to support the growing IP application.
  • Bandwidth efficiency. Our network is operating with 90% BW efficiency. Therefore, we can put in more data into the transmission.
  • QOS Management. Prioritization and rate limit of application on the Outbound as well as the Inbound. Thus, will reduce congestion during peak hour.
  • Not only do we have BOD, Bandwidth on Demand fit into our network infrastructure, we also provide CIR which means Committed Information Rate on the Outbound and Inbound. It will allocate certain bandwidth per site continuously while working automatically with the BOD to ensure all sites to burst to their required bandwidth as agreed.
  • We have Telephony services. Ability to overlay private telephony (HQ to remote) and normal public telephony (extension to the PABX at HQ). Private IP-Telephony is free! Public IP- Telephony is based on TM tariff. It is toll quality, proven technology and supports current PABX and existing fax machines and telephones.
  • We support multicasting. Can broadcast programs, video/audio content, and files to many sites simultaneously and cost effectively. Can be viewed on TV, speakers and PC.
