A review on information systems engineering using vsat networks and their development directions

Modern satellite VSAT networks can be applied not only to provide satellite radio and television broadcasting, but also to other domains, such as a two-way Internet access. For this objective it has become necessary to develop appropriate standards and data transmission techniques. An unquestionable advantage of satellite systems is reception range, which translates into possibility of building networks in almost any place on Earth. Depending on the application, such networks can use many topologies. The aim of the article is to review distributed information in this area, as well as to determine the directions of development of the next generation VSAT networks. For this purpose, the literature review has been provided, with due regard to the IEEE Xplore digital library databases, and supported by practical examples.
