Interference and Signal Degradation

Related Topics: Viasat, Inc.

Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a satellite communication technology that has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals communicate. It has enabled remote locations to access the internet, make phone calls, and transmit data with ease. However, as with any technology, VSAT has its disadvantages. One of the most significant drawbacks of VSAT is interference and signal degradation.

Interference occurs when the signal from the VSAT antenna is disrupted by other signals in the environment. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including weather conditions, physical obstructions, and electromagnetic interference. Weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or fog can cause signal attenuation, which reduces the strength of the signal.
