2. Universal Satellites Automatic Location System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Satellites...

   Universal Satellites Automatic Location System (USALS), also known (unofficially) as DiSEqC 1.3, Go X or Go to XX is a satellite dish motor protocol that automatically creates a list of available satellite positions in a motorised satellite dish setup. It is used in conjunction with the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol. It was developed by STAB, an Italian ...

3. Very-small-aperture terminal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-small-aperture_terminal

   A very-small-aperture terminal ( VSAT) [1] is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna that is smaller than 3.8 meters. The majority of VSAT antennas range from 75 cm to 1.2 m. Bit rates, in most cases, range from 4 kbit/s up to 16 Mbit/s. VSATs access satellites in geosynchronous orbit or geostationary orbit to relay data from ...

6. Low-noise block downconverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter

   A low-noise block downconverter ( LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish and converts them to a signal which is sent through a cable to the receiver inside the building. Also called a low-noise block, [ 1][ 2] low-noise converter ( LNC ), or even low ...
