- RF electronics – upconverter, downconverter, power amplifier, LNB (low-noise block).
- Modem – modulates/demodulates data for transmission.
- Control unit – manages operation, tracking, etc.
- Power supply.
SATCOM terminals are ideal for military & defense communications, maritime and aviation communications, emergency and disaster recovery. broadcasting TV and radio, remote internet access (rural, ships, oil rigs), and IoT and M2M (machine-to-machine) links via satellite.
