Satellite Links
SNG (Satellite News Gathering) is one of the very latest ways of gathering information. For example, a team of cameramen is filming far from the television station and sends the material either live or after it has been quickly edited direct via satellite to the home receiver. A licence is required to operate SNG equipment.A Very Small Aperture terminal (VSAT) is a satellite receiver and a transmitter with antennas (aperture) for satellite-based communication. Differently than the stationary Small Aperture terminals of the satellite ground stations can be installed VSAT systems also mobile on truck or containers.
