Although the Internet was invented in 1969, it did not come into widespread use until the 2000s. Today the world is surrounded by 5G mobile networks and high-speed terrestrial broadband internet. However, there are still regions that lie outside the Internet networks. Access to the Internet is very difficult, especially in places such as the open sea, desert areas far from settlements and high mountain peaks. In places where mobile or wired Internet is not available, attempts are being made to provide Internet services using a low-Earth satellite chain, but this entails high costs and security problems. The solution is TÜRKSAT's domestic system VSAT…
TÜRKSAT can provide 100 Mbps internet service with VSAT
TÜRKSAT, Türkiye's satellite company, provides satellite internet services for such situations. In difficult regions where terrestrial infrastructure and GSM networks are inadequate, TÜRKSAT provides satellite-based broadband Internet services. This makes it possible to find broadband and high-speed Internet regardless of location. With Ka-band frequencies and Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) technology, downloading at speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s is possible.
approached 8 thousand
With the VSAT system, the user communicates directly with the satellites via a small satellite dish. The antenna transmits the data to the satellite in space, and the satellite transmits the data to a larger ground station that is connected to the large network structure. In fact, the first step towards satellite internet in Turkey was taken in 2004. Over time, the number of users also increased as capacity and demand increased. The number of VSAT terminals established by TÜRKSAT will approach 8,000 in 2026.
Activated during disasters and emergencies
The system is widely used in areas such as shipping and aviation, as well as on ships and aircraft traveling on the open sea. However, in hard-to-reach rural areas and during natural disasters and emergencies, it is one of the most important ways to access the Internet. In business, it is preferred by companies that have branches and stores far apart, such as gas stations, and need a secure data connection in their area.
Safety factor
The system, which does not require a terrestrial connection, can be used over a wide geographical area, particularly in Turkey, the Middle East and Africa. Since the connection is made directly via the TURKSAT satellite, interference and security concerns are also eliminated. For this reason, it is ensured that work on natural gas and oil exploration vessels in the open sea, in mining areas and on construction sites continues safely. It has also become an important alternative for foreign representatives of the public and private sectors.
