Retail (top)
New broadband functionality over satellite is enabling new revenue generation tools, and cost savings opportunities.
 
In today's retail environment, the proliferation of new IP based applications is fueling the demand for broadband connectivity throughout individual stores and shops.  The ability to process credit/debit cards, manage pricing, promotions and inventory from a central location, distribute digital signage and provide online training from a home office are recent trends in retail that are expanding the need from traditional narrowband requirements towards more advanced revenue generating broadband applications.
 
For shopping mall owners, the ability to provide that connectivity can help attract and build loyalty with actual and prospective tenants.
 
With our solution , retailers and mall owners can be confident that they will have the bandwidth needed plus  the flexibility and reliability of a satellite connection.
 

Financial (top)
In the banking and financial services industry, there is nothing more important that having the most accurate and up to date information.  In a world where thousands of orders are placed every minute, rates change by the hour and stock prices hinge on the latest news, having the right data is critical. 

Financial institutions need to be connected to provide their customers with the highest levels of service.  VSAT Caribbean Connectivity Solutions are uniquely suited to provide voice, data, video and internet access in step with your changing environment, around the clock.

A private WAN from VSAT Caribbean, is  the ideal solution for the implementation of ATM machines.

Because our technology doesn't depend on terrestrial lines and the associated and common failures, it is the best alternative to branches backup circuits.
 

Healthcare (top)
Healthcare specialists face a myriad of challenges:  They have to keep up with the latest information & technology, update patient records, comply with regulations, communicate with other physicians. administrators and hospitals around and do it all in the face of shrinking budgets.

Without broadband connectivity, the difficulty of these challenges increases exponentially.  Whether you are in a remote location where terrestrial broadband services aren't available, or you need a reliable alternative to your existing network in the event of disaster, VSAT Caribbean satellite broadband connectivity can meet these demands efficiently and affordably.

Hospitals private WAN's can be configured with BOD (Bandwidth on Demand), you pay-only when your terrestrial communications fails.

Water and Power Authorities (top)
Reliable communications in the most extreme conditions!

VSAT Caribbean provides mission critical Telemetry solutions, for the monitoring and the management of data through satellite communications, with complete independence from public infrastructure, eliminating the common failures of terrestrial infrastructure: landlines such as T1's, DSL, Frame Relay, fiber optics, cellular phone (data) and wireless.

Traditionally SCADA communications has been Point-to-Multipoint serial communications over lease line or private radio systems (i.e. RS232, RS485, BEL202). With the advent of broadband,  IP Technology has seen increasing use in SCADA communications.

Our satellite router is connected to the SCADA PLC's, RTU's or PC's, via the
RJ-11 10/100 Ethernet Port.

Control Center MTU

PLC's (Programmable Logic Controllers)  and RTU’s (Remote Terminal Units).
      Key Advantages
    • Cost Effective
       - Bandwidth increase without the need of additional equipment
         and  expensive routers.
       - Eliminates construction cots associated with wire lines installation
       - Eliminates the costs of wireless towers installation, RF repeaters
         all the associated and maintenance costs.
    • Wide area connectivity and pervasive
    • Routable
    • Parallel Polling

    • Redundancy and Hot Standby

    • Large addressing range

    • Integration of IT to Automation and Monitoring Networks

    • Standardization

IP Technology Advantages in SCADA Applications
Web Server technology has enabled low cost web browser technology to be used as the MMI for PLC and SCADA systems. Newer PLC's and RTU's frequently incorporate web servers that allow diagnostics and monitoring function.  Web-enabled SCADA hosts enable users to remotely monitor, control remote sites via a web browser. 

Email messages are used for alarming or reporting. When an alarm occurs, alarm emails are sent out to email-enabled cell phones and PC's.

FTP can be used  to transfer files between Host and Remote sites for Data logging, Reporting or Configuration.

The Telnet remote access utility can be used to remotely configure RTU, PLC and other SCADA equipment.

The TCP protocol to ensure reliable End-to-End communication. TCP is typically used for applications like alarming where the information is critical and cannot be lost.

IP protocol enables data to be routed over the Satellite WAN to/from any SCADA remote device, in a star configuration.

The term SCADA defines a computer system used for gathering and analyzing real time data coming from industrial processes. SCADA systems are used to monitor and control a plant or equipment in industries such as water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining, pulp and paper etc. While many of the tasks of a SCADA system do not need user interaction, some of them require the supervision or the actuation of a human operator. The operator's interface plays therefore a very important role in a SCADA system. All relevant information has to be shown to the operator in a clear and convenient way, conforming to current standards in process display graphics. This part of a SCADA system is commonly known as the HMI (Human Machine Interface) .
