Embodiments operate in context of a hub-spoke satellite communications architecture having a number of gateway terminals servicing large numbers of user terminals over a number of spot beams. and the SurfBeam 2 system transform two-way satellite communications with the ability to provision more bandwidth. (Nasdaq: VSAT) is a global communications company that continues to find better ways to connect our service members securely and seamlessly. 168. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ViaSat Inc. ViaSat-1 is the second of a new generation of satellites that, by employing the largely unused Ka-band portion of the radio spectrum and slicing up its coverage into dozens of spot beams, will. ViaSat-1 is. Ô Frequency reuse: when a desired service area is covered by multiple spot beams, severalEutelsat 172B. That issue caused some spot beams to perform differently than. market, and very high throughput satellites (V/HTS), with their multiple spot-beams, are key for delivering the future rate demands. ET.
