| Abstract | Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) networks have been successfully providing
communication within the corporate environment but due to the complex user demands, the
need of multimedia traffic, multiple access protocol, data integrity and security have
increased. This research study investigates the existing and the future VSAT applications in a
corporate Intranet. The Query/response and the Bulk data type of applications are considered
as they are the dominant types of application in a corporate Intranet. The response time for the
Query/Response and Bulk data type of application are calculated and compared under the
Pure ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA protocol. The interworking of the LANs within a VSAT
network is also studied regarding the communication architectures, protocols and interfaces.
The Oracle client/server application of Unocal, Thailand is considered between
Bangkok and Funan (Remote site) for the investigation of the high response time. As per the
investigation, the recommendations suggested to avoid the high response time include the use
of two-tier client/server architecture, avoid the mixing of 16-bit and 32-bit applications in the
client side and to use a distributed database architecture instead of a centralized database
architecture. The recommendations suggested for the overall VSAT network includes the
placement of a backup transceiver at the Bangkok node to improve its reliability and also the
installation of an auto-tracking antenna on the unstable drilling rig to maintain the continuity
of the VSAT to satellite link. |
