SESNET: an SCPC DAMA system for fully meshed connectivity in open and closed networks

Rural or developing countries with geographically dispersed sites, where telecommunication infrastructures are poor or not present at all, can take advantage of low cost satellite solutions to satisfy their telecommunication needs. The ease of the satellite approach using small Earth terminals, configured to match different specific telecommunication requirements minimizes the cost for user to user interconnection, and reduces the overall time for the deployment of the telecommunication system. The authors describe Alenia Spazio´s SESNET system from the perspective of network architecture and typology of services offered to the users
