VSAT • Private vs Internet Accessibility • Link Tuning • Caveat • Packet “eating” • UDP checksum • rain fade • Modem hangs • High power (>20W) • Data rates: 256Kbps
VSAT Telemetry Deployment VSAT Terminal
Station Communications Layout • Seismic site and VSAT Communications separate wherever possible - data linked by radio • Reduces power needs for remote site • Decreased induced cultural noise from electronics and wind • AC power for satellite system in most cases Seismic vault layout Comm system layout • <3 Watts DC power • 75 W solar array • ~2 m vault depth • 25 Watts DC power • AC preferred or 500 W solar array • Up to 50 km radio range
VSAT Regional Site VSAT install near barn with AC power Remote site uses RF radio to telemeter date to VSAT
Cell Modem • Availability of service • Service providers prefer bursting • Low power (<1W) • Data rate: 170Kbps
Iridium Modem • Availability of service • Data rates too low for continuous data • Caveat • Link dropouts • Modem hangs • Intermediate power (4W) • Data rate: 2.4Kbps
Ethernet • Requires infrastructure • Low power • Caveat • Network security issues • Data rate: 1Mbps (Q330 throttle)
900 MHz Ethernet Radio • Line of site only (100 km) • Point to point • More tolerant to humidity/rain • Caveat • Can be affected by weather • Low power (1.4W) • Data rate: 115Kbps
2.4 GHz Ethernet Bridge Radio • Line of site only (60 km) • Point to multi-point • Caveat • Can be affected by weather • Other radio interference • Intermediate power (4W) • Data rate: 10Mbps
