Carrier Class Turnkey Satellite Network Systems

STM supplies complete network systems employing cost-effective VSATs and high-performance hub stations, backed with 24 x 7 customer support. Designed, engineered and manufactured by STM, these networks deliver interactive two-way communications for voice, data and video, plus broadcasting and multicasting options, to many tens of thousands of VSATs for both fixed and mobile operations with carrier-class reliability, quality, scalability and features.

STM offers two carrier-class, satellite network system product lines, SatLink™ and Solante™ (see Product Comparison table below). Each provides the high bandwidth, quality, reliability and scalability required by carriers for interactive voice, video and data communications, and each supports broadcasting and multicasting options. Both product lines employ advanced MF-TDMA technology for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth, and both support full-mesh topologies – for a single satellite “hop” among VSATs – as well as star topologies. With these leading products STM serves customers that need small, cost-effective networks, and those that need huge networks with multiple satellites serving thousands of VSATs for massive geographic coverage and capacity, and with full hub redundancy.

 

STM Product Benefits

  • Intelligent Bandwidth On Demand for All Interactive Media and Content Distribution Modes
  • Highly Scalable, High-Throughput Networks with Maximum Bandwidth Efficiency
  • Field-Proven, High-Availability
  • Integrated Solutions Compliant with Industry Standards

SatLink System

The SatLink product line is optimized for Internet Protocol (IP) packet-oriented communication and is the technology and market leading DVB-RCS satellite networking system, outpacing its competitors in features, scalability and installed units. Its advanced quality of service (QoS) implementation enables carrier-class voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video conferencing concurrently with response-time sensitive critical interactive data and delay-tolerant bulk data transfers, while maintaining maximum bandwidth efficiency.

Solante System

The Solante product line is optimized for conventional circuit-switched applications common among telecom carriers and traditional large private corporate and government agency networks. It supports all standard circuit-switched interfaces and call-signaling methods. The enhanced software in the Solante line comprises a complete carrier-class voice, fax and data call-switching system. Solante is a world leading rural telephony and cellular back-haul solution, supporting both thin and thick route meshed DAMA requirements.
