Satellites provide vital communications to any part of the World. However, the technology is associated with problems that can be mitigated through network planning and modelling techniques.
Propagation delays from one VSAT to another can exceed 0.5 seconds, that can impair voice communications resulting in echo and talker overlap. These delays can be resolved by applying special protocols. Satellites are also susceptible to the effects of rain and atmospheric disturbances, commonly known as noise. To support this, ATDI’s software features rain maps and other significant atmospheric data to support network planning.
HTZ is a comprehensive radio network planning tool that enables network operators to plan and model the satellite footprint. It also models and manages constellation interference and evaluates interference between the satellite and earth stations.
HTZ features advanced satellite network planning functions for GSO/non-GSO satellite operators, including:
