　　Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT)

　　VSATs are earth terminals using small antennas (1.5 6 feet in diameter). This technology typically operates in the Ku band (11/14 GHz), and Ka band (20/30 GHz).

　　Video Conferencing

　　Video conferencing is the real-time, usually two-way transmission of voice and images between two or more locations. Today, both voice and video analog signals are digitized by video codices before transmission which can involve wide bandwidths. To conserve bandwidth, some systems employ "freeze frame," where a television screen is only "repainted" every few seconds. Codecs for higher quality full motion video attempt to minimize bandwidth requirements by taking advantage of intervals with relatively little motion (which require smaller bandwidths), and by trading off smooth motion tracking and picture resolution.

　　Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

　　VPNs are services using public network facilities augmented by network control point and service management system facilities wherein traffic is routed through the public network under computer control in a manner that makes VPN service indistinguishable from dedicated facilities based private networks. Customers can define, change and control network resources with the same or more flexibility as afforded by facilities based private networks.
