What is a satellite teleport?

A satellite teleport is the terrestrial structure part of the global satellite network. Its task consists of providing terrestrial networks with access to satellites in orbit, located 36,200 kilometers above the Equator. They are located in strategic locations around the world, allowing them to communicate with satellites through the line of sight.

In a satellite teleport, large satellite dishes that point to the sky from a fixed position stand position, since satellites to which they communicate are in a geostationary orbit, which means a satellite is always located in the same position in the sky. In addition to satellite antennas, the satellite teleport also houses network equipment and fiber optic links, which connect the location to data centers.

Following this line, a satellite link is a channel through which data is sent and/or received, traveling through radio frequency signals emitted from a main ground station (satellite teleport) to a satellite, in turn, it forwards the signals to a remote ground station located anywhere on Earth, where they become data to have access to internet, telephony, video, and streaming. This is achieved by means of a satellite modem.
