In rural areas and in developing nations and regions, the options for internet for business are often more restricted. Infrastructure may not be present to allow for cable or fiber optics internet connections, and even broadband services may not be possible.
VSAT systems usually operate by frequencies, including Ku-Band, Ka-Band, and C-band. However, commercial networks usually consider C Band VSAT internet. Even though the Ku-Band frequency can range from about 10 to 12 GHz for downlinks and 13.7 to 14.5 GHz for uplinks, the C-Band frequency ranges from 3.6 to 4.2 GHz for receiving and 5.8 to 6.4 GHz for transmissions.
C-band was the first frequency band to be allocated for use by the satellite communications industry for Fixed and Broadcasting Satellite Services. C-band frequencies have long been recognized to perform better under adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow fade in comparison with other satellite frequency ranges, such as Ku- and Ka-band.
