The Ku-band VSAT system based on the Nanometrics Libra technology will be used. This approach offers the following benefits:
* Freedom in station placement with no reliance on local infrastructure.
* Significantly less field equipment to deploy and maintain,
no repeaters sites.
* No RF survey required other than visual confirmation of clear
view of satellite in the sky.
* Rapid relocation of sites. VSAT communications impose almost
no restriction on site placement
* Substantially reduced operating costs (~ $20 per station per
month continuous 3-comp. 50sps data).
* Bandwidth of the system supports a range of other technologies
(e.g. GPS) for possible future applications.
