BW efficiency is important
● More bandwidth is required
● Satellite capacity is expensive and frequently scarce
● Minimize footprint on the rig
● Maximal utilization of links
● Highest modulations – 32 APSK on the FW, 16 APSK return
● Hybrid return channel pools – VSAT switch channel types
● Payload compression
● Local content caching

Approach
10
• High bandwidth vs. efficiency in one solution• Minimize external equipment – all-in-one solution• Optimize recreational solution
![Page 11: Advanced VSAT Networking Infrastructures · NOC Operation Customization Capricorn. The Oil & Gas Value Chain Upstream Field Production Operations ... Many of the service providers](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060318/5f0c9d657e708231d436483f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Choosing between two technologies
Continuous – fixed allocation per site
Good for:
o Small number of sites – no over subscription
o High activity ratio per site – or all peaks at the same time
o Excellent single channel utilization – and high maximal transmission rate
o Lowest latency
MF-TDMA – with dynamic RT BW allocation per site
Good for:
o Many sites sharing a BW pool – over subscription – low overall bandwidth
o Low average activity ratio per site
o Medium maximal transmission rate
o Single channel utilization is average (Overheads)
TDMA
SCPC
The Service Gap requires a compromise in some cases Opportunity

Option 1: SCPC – Best for continuous throughput. Requires more bandwidth
Option 2: DAMA – Efficient for multiple sites with lower frequency of use
New Approach: Dual Mode – Each site can switch between SCPC and DAMA
