Point-to-point SCPC links
Gazprom Space Systems provides SCPC links based on Yamal-201 and Yamal-202 satellites C-band capacity. The service is provided via three company teleports (Moscow, Dolgoye-Ledovo and Schelkovo) connected to the largest Moscow backbones (M9, M5, M10) by fiber optic lines and via the company’s ground stations in the regions.
These links can be used by fixed and corporate operators either as an alternative to the ground lines or for their redundancy in order to increase the network readiness factor.
Besides, such type of links are becoming extensively used by GSM and wireless operators for connecting the networks base stations.
Such links let Internet providers get backbone Internet traffic.
Point-to-point links are used for arranging constant (with guaranteed throughput) data exchange among the customer's remote facilities and allow to provide the customers with the following services:
- data transmission;
- Internet access;
- telephony;
- videoconferencing;
- videomonitoring.
DVB-RCS Services
Gazprom Space Systems provides satellite communication channels on-demand by means of a DVB-RCS platform. This service is provided on Ku-band capacity of Yamal-201 satellite at 90 E
On-demand satellite communication channels are mainly used by corporate customers for data exchange between their remote facilities and allow to providing the customer with the following services:
- data transmission;
- Internet access;
- telephony;
- videoconferencing;
- videomonitoring.
DVB-RSC platform can be also used as a tool for distant learning and telemedicine projects.
The VSAT antenna diameter ranges from 1.2 to 1.8 m.
Gazprom Space Systems supplies and installs VSATs at the customer’ sites (there are possible payments by installments, rent of the VSAT or including its cost into the service price).
Transportable Satellite Communication Facilities
The service is provided based on the same DVB-RCS platform.
Transportable satellite communication facility is used for providing the customer with operative audio-video links to emergency sites or on-going events, including the possibility of
- video reports;
- videoconferencing in the point-to-point mode;
- telephony;
- video and data transmission.
Gazprom Space Systems supplies and installs the transportable facilities at the customer’s sites.
Services on Yamal-300K, Yamal-401 and Yamal-402 Satellites Capacity (satellites currently under construction)
With Yamal-300K, Yamal-401 and Yamal-402 satellites capacity Gazprom Space Systems will expand the delivery of satellite communication links, developing their new teleport in Schelkovo.
The satellites under construction will have higher power parameters of the channels (2- 3 dB higher than the same on Yamal-201/202), which shall make Gazprom Space Systems services even more attractive. In point-to-point links more efficient methods of signals modulation and coding will be applied, while in on-demand channels will be used more economic VSATs with smaller antennae diameter and low-power transmitters (typical solution - 0.9- 1.2 m antennae and 1-2 W transmitter).
