  What is a VSAT?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The "very small" component of the VSAT acronym refers to the size of the VSAT dish antenna -typically about 2 to 4 feet (0.55-1.2 m) in diameter- that is mounted on a roof on a wall, or placed on the ground.
The key advantage of a VSAT earth station, versus a typical terrestrial network connection, is that VSATs are not limited by the reach of buried cable.
VSATs are capable of sending and receiving all sorts of video, data and audio content at the same high speed regardless of their distance from terrestrial switching offices and infrastructure.

 VSATplus Company
The use of VSAT systems is growing throughout the world as a way of establishing private satellite communications networks for large organisations that have several widely dispersed locations, or providing higher bandwidth for the individual.
VSAT networks can readily be configured so that the hub can broadcast data to all the VSAT terminals at higher rates than they can communicate to the hub.
Outbound information (from the hub to the VSATs) is sent up to the communications satellite's transponder, which receives it, amplifies it and beams it back to earth for reception by the remote VSATs.

 VSAT
VSAT or Very Small Aperture Terminals are small, software-driven earth stations (typically 0.9-2.4 meters, which equates to 3-8 feet, though larger units are available) used for the reliable transmission of data, video, or voice via satellite.
VSATs use a star network with the use of satellite earth stations that rely on a large central hub.
