Objectives
The project objective has been to develop key technology for a low data rate VSAT network specifically targeting the SCADA market segment, based on DVB-S2/RCS2 standards, comprising a dedicated, low cost hub station and a robust remote terminal capable of receiving low rate data on the forward link.
Challenges
The key challenge in the project has been to develop a low rate forward link channel, where the most challenging issue was to develop the low rate reception technology in the terminal.
System Architecture
The basic network architecture is a standard VSAT star network architecture, which is very suitable for typical SCADA traffic patterns, with data collection from remote sites to a centrally located operational control centre.
The Network Management System (NMS) is connected to the central hub station. The hub will typically be co-located and connected to the application SCADA front end processor in the users operational control centre, while the remote terminals will be connected to the sensor equipment at the remote sites.
Plan
The project was completed in November 2017.
