VSAT Systems offers satellite ISP service through the Telstar 14, and IA-8 satellites. The coverage area includes CONUS (the continental United States), Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.
The lines resembling isobars on the satellite ISP map indicate satellite reception capability. In 95 percent of the cases, a 1.2 meter dish will be sufficient.
Telstar 14 started to provide service in April 2004 and is located at 63 degrees W.L. Both satellites provide transponders betweeen 24 MHZ and 36 MHz for international network requirements.
The satellites provide the enterprise market (government and VSAT), with broadband solutions for network completion of corporate IP/VPNs, standby communication back-up for mission critical locations, and multicasting of corporate education and messaging.
Bottom line: satellite ISP coverage from VSAT Systems combines cutting-edge technology with one of the most respected companies in the satellite Internet business.

Why use this satellite Internet tool? Because our Our look-angle calculator includes both true azimuth and magnetic azimuth for each satellite.
The VSAT Systems look angle calculator computes true azimuth using basic trigonometry given the location of the dish on Earth and the position of the satellite in geosynchronous orbit. This is possible because the position of the satellite in such an orbit remains fixed above the equator relative to Earth’s rotation.
The calculation of magnetic azimuth takes this one step further by factoring in Earth’s magnetic field into the equation. This provides a value a compass would show for the given true azimuth at a particular time and location.
This calculation is based on the Department of Defense magnetic variation algorithm (GEOMAG), which obtains a highly accurate result by utilizing the WMM (World Magnetic Model) Gauss coefficients in conjunction with spherical-harmonic expansions associated with the field components.
