VSAT Link Terminology

VSAT terminology can often be confusing at first but it’s really quite simple and this diagram shows how it relates to the VSAT remote site or the Teleport hub side.

The Uplink is always the link to the satellite and the downlink is always the link from the satellite irrespective of which side of the link you are, Teleport/Hub or VSAT remote site.

Inbound and Outbound are often referred to as Inroute(s) and Outroute(s). The Outbound is from the teleport hub to the remote VSAT and the Inbound is the the remote VSAT to the teleport hub.
