The DAMA Control Station
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010The DAMA Control Station is a fixed physical site. It houses equipment that performs the functions of resource and channel controllers, and shared equipment such as a printer, power supply, and other ancillary equipment. The DAMA control stations act as relays, providing worldwide control of the network and worldwide routing of user traffic through the control of a channel on each of the satellites. Four DAMA Control Stations will be required for worldwide coverage and when completed, will provide 100 percent redundancy.
Satellites Today in Business
Monday, May 18th, 2009Virtually everyone in the world today, either directly or indirectly, uses satellites. They so extensively embed satellites in today’s global technology culture that it is difficult to find someone not affected. However, the impact of satellites is not intuitively obvious to the average person.
Why?
For one thing, satellites are not visible. A person making a phone call does not think about the path his call takes to get to the distant end, nor does he particularly care as long as the call gets through.

Friday, February 27th, 2009From Bird watching to Satellite communication man has traveled a lot from being controlled to a controlling factor. Similarly in satellite communications from AT&T first launched in 1962 to present day innumerable developments have occurred.
This satellite equipment has two basic components namely satellite and ground station. Among these, satellites are known as space segment, which can be further fragmented into 3 parts as transponder, fuel systems and telemetry control. First the transponder of the satellite equipment, through its antenna picks and sends the signal while telemetry system reflects electronic signals.
More Satellite Internet
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009Satellite Internet is commonly is places where the terrestrial Internet is not available and also in locations that are constantly mobile, like a ship. Satellite Internet access has worldwide availability, even in ships and moving land based vehicles.
Satellite Internet
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009Satellite Internet systems are also one way receive systems that have the common dial-up internet access. The data that is outbound travels through a modem that connects to the internet by a telephone line but the satellite-sent downloads travel at speeds of broadband Internet. In the United States, the uplink stations are required to take obtain FCC license while the end users need not take any license.
