Satellite state or client state is a political term that refers to a country which is formally independent but which is primarily subject to the domination of another, larger power.

 Distance Learning in Libraries (Satellite Teleconferencing) - Texas State Library
Although a large majority of institutions with satellite downlink equipment are academic institutions and school libraries, public library staff are often invited to the teleconferences hosted by these institutions.
Satellite teleconferencing is technology used to send a one-way video broadcast from one site to many sites through the use of satellite equipment.
Satellite teleconferencing is a one-way video, two-way audio (1V-2A) experience where participants can see and hear the presenter, but cannot be seen by the presenter and can interact with the presenter only through the use of other audio media such as telephone or fax.

Sites with satellite downlink equipment in Texas are asked to serve as volunteer host sites so that the teleconferences are accessible free of charge to library and information staff in their community.
