SkyNMS Network 
Management PC

A PC on which the SkyNMS software is installed and running.
The PC is locally connected to a 

Sky

WAN

®

 IDU over the Eth-

ernet port.

Sky

WAN

®

 Channel

occupies frequency bandwidth on a satellite transponder for a

Sky

WAN

®

 network; is configurable by SkyNMS.

Sky

 Station

Ground equipment that transmits and receives electromagnet-
ic waves in a 

Sky

ND SatCom 

Sky

WAN

®

 is an MF-TDMA VSAT system that

supports voice, video and data applications in the most band-
width- and cost-effective manner. Main functionality is provid-
ed by the 

Sky

WAN

®

 IDU series.

Spot Beam

A spot beam is a satellite signal that covers a concentrated ge-
ographic area so only antennas in that area will receive the sig-
nal.

Star network

VSAT topology whereby a remote location communicates with
another remote location by routing through a hub

Symbol Rate

Also known as baud or modulation rate is the number of sym-
bol changes (signalling events) made to the transmission me-
dium per second using a digitally modulated signal or a line
code. Often used modulation techniques in VSAT communica-
tions are QPSK and 8PSK.

Time Division Multiple Ac-
cess (TDMA)

Channel access method that allows applications or users to
share the same frequency by dividing the full bandwidth into
specific timeslots.

Transponder

A combination of receiver, frequency converter, and transmit-
ter package, physically part of a communications satellite.

Uplink

Transmission of a signal from an earth station to a satellite.
See also Downlink.

VSAT

Very Small Aperture Terminal is a station with an antenna that
is typically less than 3 meters in diameter.

X Band

Frequency band with uplink 7.9 to 8.4 GHz, downlink 7.25 to
7.75 GHz. This band is primarily used for military communica-
tions systems.

8-PSK

8-PSK phase shift modulation involves eight levels of phase
shift and encodes three bits per symbol. See also QPSK and
Symbol Rate.
