Private Satellite Network for SCADA Applications
TSAT’s highly unique private satellite network solution features an industry leading mini VSAT hub that is specifically engineered to support mission critical applications (SCADA / Telemetry) in the energy and utility markets. The ruggedized and utility hardened-hardware is designed to provide years of reliable operation in remote locations and harsh environments.
The new SCADASat by TSAT solution – the TSAT 3500 – comes in three variants: a desktop version, 1u rack mounted, and an outdoor option.
- Dedicated, low-cost VSAT HUB
- Compliant with legacy and IP SCADA protocols
- Ideal for a range of SCADA and Telemetry applications
- Flexible, scalable configurations.
Low Capital Investment and Scalability
The SCADASat solution is the lowest cost for establishing a private satellite network specifically engineered for SCADA and M2M telemetry making it suitable for even small single-site installations. There will be room to grow to any size over time on the initial equipment.
The SCADASat solution uses spectrum and bandwidth resources efficiently, so that recurring costs are minimized. The total cost of ownership (TCO) of the SCADASat is low, making this a viable option even for single-site installations, with the ability to scale up as needed.

SCADASat complies with IEC 61850 standards and AES-256 encryption and authentication. Further, it’s isolated from the Internet or any other network. A SCADASat satellite network rides over a dedicated space-segment of one or more satellites for redundant fail-over reliability, including remote-site to remote-site (point-to-point) mesh type communication.
Cyber security features include: VLAN (Virtual LAN) support, file system encryption, secure Linux login to avoid unauthorized access, and SW/FW upgrade over-satellite authentication.
