LinkStar: Bandwidth-On-Demand Broadband VSAT System

LinkStarTM is a two-way, bandwidth-on-demand broadband VSATsystem for service providers, ISPs, and corporate networking. The forward channel provides a total capacity of 60 Mbps, and return channels to the hub can operate at speeds up to 1.15 Mbps. LinkStar combines broadband access and a highspeed return channel to satisfy bandwidth-intensive applications using IP data over existing C- and Ku-band FSS satellites.

How does LinkStar provide these benefits?
