How do VSAT terminals work for satellite phone calls?
—VSAT terminals are used to establish a connection with satellites for transmitting phone calls. They consist of equipment racks, modems, analog telephone adapters, and network ports.
What causes the delay in satellite phone calls?
—The delay in satellite phone calls is due to the long distances that signals have to travel. Signals need to be transmitted to the satellites in space and then back to Earth, resulting in a noticeable delay.
How are audio boxes used in satellite phone calls?
—Audio boxes can be connected to satellite phone systems to enhance the quality of the calls. They provide features such as noise reduction and clear audio transmission.
What are the limitations of satellite phone calls?
—Satellite phone calls can have lower bandwidth and higher latency compared to traditional landline or mobile phone calls. Additionally, the cost of satellite phone services may be higher.
Can satellite phone calls be used for video streaming?
—Satellite phone calls typically have limited bandwidth, which may not be sufficient for video streaming. However, specialized equipment can be used for streaming video over satellite connections with higher bandwidth.
