LinkStarS2A
Broadband VSAT System
The new ViaSat LinkStarS2A system is a two-way, bandwidth-ondemand broadband VSAT system designed with network speed and
efficiency in mind. LinkStarS2A now brings you higher efficiency
and data rates surpassing many other TDMA systems. LinkStarS2A
combines broadband access and a high-speed return channel to
satisfy your bandwidth-intensive applications using IP data over any
fixed satellite.
Since its introduction, the LinkStarS2A VSAT system has been built on
a foundation of open standard DVB technology including a DVB-S or
DVB-S2 forward link. The new and innovative LinkStarS2A DVB-S2
technology includes advanced Low Density Parity Check (LDPC)
coding for ultra-low Eb/No performance near Shannons theoretical
LINKSTARS2A AT-A-GLANCE
limit. That, combined with 8PSK and 16APSK modulation, provides

bandwidth reductions of up to 30% below traditional values. Our
newly available Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM) technology
provides rain fade mitigation and reduces the satellite bandwidth
requirement for downstream traffic by up to 63%. Dynamic Link
Adaptation (DLA) provides rain fade mitigation on the return link
while reducing satellite bandwidth by nearly 20%.
The LinkStarS2A system offers satellite link speeds up to 126 Mbps on
the downstream and up to 4.2 Mbps on the upstream channels to
the hub. With this high upstream channel capacity, remote sites can
be server locations, content providers, multimedia sources, video
teleconferencing participants, and corporate headquarters.

FEATURES
EFFICIENCY With turbo coding and optimized spectral
shaping, you can use your satellite bandwidth more
efficiently on the return channels and provide your
customers with a superior user experience. Maximize your
resources through higher efficiency and cost savings.
AUTOMATIC RAIN FADE COMPENSATION
NEW Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM) for the
downstream reduces satellite bandwidth requirements by
up to 63%. (Optional)
NEW Dynamic Link Adaptation (DLA) reduces
upstream satellite bandwidth requirements almost 20%.
(Optional)
Dynamic Uplink Power Control automatically
boosts signal level during fading conditions, ensuring your
network will stay connected.
ACCELERATION AND COMPRESSION improves link
efficiency and enhances user experience
NEW HTTP Acceleration & Bandwidth Reduction
with AcceleNet boosts the speed of your customers
web surfing experience while reducing your operating
costs for satellite bandwidth. (Optional)
TCP Acceleration boosts the speed of your TCP traffic
enhancing your end users experience.
IP Header Compression significantly reduces the
bandwidth required for VoIP traffic by eliminating
extraneous and redundant protocol information.
QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) based on DiffServ offers
six queues at the scheduler level on each remote terminal.
You get a finer prioritization of user traffic based on
profiles defined using the IP QoS feature.
MULTIPLE INBOUND ACCESS SCHEMES TO

SUPPORT A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
give you the ability to meet or exceed your customers
expectations.
Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) dynamically increases
bandwidth as it is needed, for as long as it is needed.
Ideal for multi-user Intranet and Internet applications as well
as large file transfers.
Committed Information Rate (CIR) provides nearinstantaneous accessibility of all available bandwidth.
Ideal for guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) applications.
Combined with the LinkStarS2A systems applicationtriggered CIR feature, this is the right choice for VoIP and
video conferencing services.
Application-Triggered BoD/CIR allows dynamic
assignment of BoD/CIR resources, maximizing resources
and matching customer-specific application requirements.
(Optional)
CIR Reallocation offers CIR when the user needs it.
Once the needs are satisfied bandwidth becomes
available to the entire network. This allows operators to
fully utilize bandwidth resources.
Slotted ALOHA grants immediate network access to lowbandwidth applications. This powerful feature minimizes
latency and is particularly suited for transactional
applications such as lotteries, point-of-sale (POS) and
automated teller machines (ATMs).
DHCP Relay and VLAN Tagging enable service
providers to offer VPN services to multiple customers
through this optional feature. The LinkStarS2A system enables
end-to-end VLAN separation of customer traffic, reuse of
private addresses, and automatic IP address assignment to
devices at remote sites.
Frequency Hopping allows your network to be more
efficient through load balancing across return channels.
POWERFUL NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

(NMS) Our Web-Based NMS gives you configuration
control and network management using GUI and a s tandard
browser. The Network Control Center (NCC) provides
additional management through traffic statistics, call detail
records and an SNMP interface. Other features include:
Virtual Network Operator (VNO) (optional)
Virtual Service Provider (VSP) (optional)
User Groups (logically group remote terminals)
Online Context-Sensitive Help
MULTIMEDIA, BROADBAND CONNECTIONS provide

up to 126 Mbps on the downstream and up to 4.2 Mbps
per upstream carrier.
SECURITY
Encryption is available for the downstream traffic, up
stream traffic, and network control channel.
Network Locking controls migration of terminals
across networks. (Optional)
IPSec is transparently delivered by the LinkStarS2A system.
NEW Data Encryption using AES-128 is now available.
(Optional)
FLEXIBLE, SCALABLE ARCHITECTURE

With each Regional NCC (RNCC) managing up to 8,000
sites and a single NCC controlling up to 10 RNCCs, you can
grow your network to a total of up to 80,000 nodes.
Control Plane Security encrypts network management

messages for highly secure communications. (Optional)
Compact C-SERIES HUBS are available for smaller,

scalable, cost-effective networks allowing for system growth.
ADVANCED IP ROUTING CAPABILITY Unicast and

Multicast, RIP, IGMP, UDP, TCP are all supported by the
LinkStarS2A system.
MULTI-SATELLITE/MULTI-TRANSPONDER You can

choose to operate in C, Ku, and Ka band, utilizing a unique
region for each requirement.
INPUT POWER OPTIONS include a choice of AC and

DC power. Intelligent power conservation is ideal for solar
applications.
REDUNDANCY Ensure your critical communications

through both local and/or geographic redundancy for
the hub.
MARITIME/MOBILE OPERATION allows installation on

moving platforms such as ships and vehicles.
STANDARDS-BASED PLATFORM
DVB-Based Architecture enables service providers and
satellite operators worldwide to build open-standard
networks for IP data, Internet access, video streaming,
telemedicine, VoIP and distance learning. For operators who
require standardization on the return channel, the LinkStarS2A
network offers an optional DVB-RCS compliant version with
a simple, cost effective over-the-air software download.
HYBRID STAR/MESH NETWORKS provide flexibility for

a multitude of applications in one integrated network.
Sharing a common DVB-S2 outlink, the LinkStarS2A system is
interoperable with ViaSats LinkWayS2 mesh VSAT system.
