Australian satellite companies operate huge VSAT or ground stations that are made up of uplinks interconnected with various components in mesh or star topology. Teleports can provide customized or short-term hosting and back-up solutions to businesses that rely on terrestrial networks. Teleports can fill the gap in signal transmission, especially when distance and network capacity pose a problem.
Backhaul refers to all the networks that bring the signals to the central station. In satellite communications, teleports can serve a crucial part of backhaul for terrestrial telecommunications and Internet delivery. Teleports can act as a back channel to fill the gap in Internet communications. Data speed, interference, relative costs and availability of radio frequency spectrum space affect the choice of backhaul.
Businesses that rely on national ISPs can improve their Internet connection by
utilizing the terrestrial backhaul of satellite companies. Satellite backhaul can also communicate with national Australian telecommunications networks. Backhaul support from teleports can significantly improve the communications channel for faster and more reliable Internet connection.
Teleports can communicate with terrestrial fibre network of national telecommunication companies. For instance, NewSat’s backahaul can connect via georaphically diversified links with Telstra. The backhaul also works with multiple fibre links with Optus, AmCom and AAPT.
Although national telecommunications channels are stable, they are not readily available in remote areas. In rural region where there is a low call utilization rate, teleports can add up to the capacity of local companies and terrestrial infrastructures.
Rural zones often have insufficient or underdeveloped telecommunications infrastructures. Satellite broadband teleports can provide fast and more cost-effective solutions to complement telecommunication services in less populated regions of Australia. The terrestrial backhaul of major satellite carriers can support CDMA, GSM, UMTned 2G, 2.5G, 3G & 4G LTE networks.
Teleport capacity can serve multiple clients, giving them customized Internet channels and backhaul support in case of terrestrial network malfunction or insufficiency. Satellite carriers maintain advance hub facilities that can cater for broadcasting, broadband and communication needs of organizations. The international coverage of satellite teleports make them an ideal backhaul option for complementing the rural communication chains of an organization. With teleports, broadcasting firms, mining firms and government agencies can prevent costly interruption in terrestrial broadband connections.
