TOOWAY VSATs
RF PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION
BY EUTELSAT
This list aims at providing Eutelsat customers with guidance on the selection of the most
appropriate earth station equipment to access the Eutelsat capacity for Tooway services.
Any VSATs which are regularly deployed on the Eutelsat satellites may be eligible for
being included in this list.
The VSATs' RF performance fully meets the minimum Eutelsat requirements (EESS 502) or
alternatively the Nomenclature of Standard M-x;
The terminal shall be used solely in VSAT Networks which are conformed with the EU
regulations (http://telecom.esa.int) for blanket license agreement;
For drive-away systems, the use of stabilization jacks during operations is mandatory;
The authorization to operate the terminal is conditioned to the approval to access the
Eutelsat S.A. Space Segment
(ref. http://www.eutelsat.com/files/contributed/satellites/pdf/esog110.pdf, ESOG 110).
Inclusion in the list is a decision which pertains uniquely and ultimately to Eutelsat alone.
At any moment a given VSAT may be removed from the list, should Eutelsat deem
necessary to do so.
This characterization does not replace in any way the Eutelsat type approval program, cfr.

For a given VSAT, additional RF characteristics not explicitly listed (e.g. other operating
frequency bands) can be found at the URL address of the manufacturer datasheet, if
available.
