Satellite Teleport

A teleport is a communication facility designed to communicate with commercial satellites in orbit around the earth. In addition, a teleport facility provides satellite transmission and reception services to multiple satellites or clients, or both.

Teleports were originally constructed during the middle to latter part the decade that began in 1960 by the companies that constructed, launched and operated commercial and government communication satellites.

The main tasks of the teleport are:

• Raising programs to the satellite.
• Reception of signals from the satellite for control of signal presence at the satellite and its quality.
• Providing permanent capacity for work of the satellite channel.

Some teleport facilities offer global coverage through the Intelsat, Eutelsat, PanAmSat, Arabsat, Nilesat, Thaicom, Telstarand Amos satellites. C, Ku and Ka band teleport services are often provided.

C band (compromise band) is a portion of electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies ranging from 4 to 6 GHz. ... The Ku band (kay-yoo kurz-under band) is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies ranging from 11 to 18 GHz. ... The Ka band (kurz-above band) is a portion of the K band of the microwave band of the electromagnetic spectrum. ...

A teleport can uplink taped programs like video press releases, or live teleconferences. Studios and teleproduction facilities are connected directly to the uplink via microwave or optical fiber. A signal contribution through a satellite is also possible. In this case the teleport provides "turnaround" service, which means that the channel is received from one satellite and re-transmitted on another satellite. In telecommunication, teleconference is the live exchange of information among persons and machines remote from one another but linked by a telecommunications system. ... A microwave link is a transmission device which allows video / audio / data to be sent using radio waves between two locations from just a few feet to several miles apart. ... Optical fibers An optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber designed to guide light along its length by total internal reflection. ...
