[linux-dvb] [Fwd: Two-way satellite communication system]

Hi all again,

Does anybody knows any two-way pci satellite modem?

In the worst case, do you know if exists any entity, group, experiences or solution in this area?

We would appreciate your comments.

Best regards

Dear partners,

I would to ask you if you know a pci card supporting DVB-RCS (Return-Channel-via-Satellite) technology or any other linux-compatible hardware that could work on two-way mode, both sending and receiving data, using VSAT system preferably.

We work at innovation center in Venezuela, and we are looking for a free software, low-cost and high-scalable solution allowing us to deploy a communication system based on a standard satellite technology.

We would appreciate any information you could share with us.

Best regards

It's not a pci card, but it's a external ethernet router modem, the service is provided by ses-astra:

I've tried it for two days and seemed good, the ping time was just around 500ms and IIRC they gave you a public IP address.
