There are situations when there is no connectivity wired Internet, and not nearby wireless networks, and traffic via GPRS/3G channels is either absent or very expensive. For example, you live far from a regional center or the Internet service in your city is poorly developed.
You have the opportunity to connect satellite Internet. To do this, just hang “ satellite dish”, make the appropriate settings and get the coveted access to the World Wide Web.
In this article I will tell you what satellite Internet is, what set of equipment you need to purchase, and how you can configure the equipment yourself.
The key word, as the name suggests, is Satellite, which is typically located in Earth's geostationary orbit. The main function of a satellite is to transmit information from one point on the planet (from base station) to subscribers located in the satellite coverage area (this is a very large area, which usually includes several countries or the entire European continent).
The coverage area is the main advantage of this technology. For comparison, one base station tower mobile operator covers an area equal to one block or microdistrict. It is not possible to install a cell phone tower everywhere, but a signal from a satellite can be received anywhere in the world.
The information transmitted via satellite communication channels is varied. This includes television, Internet data, telephony, and service requests. Each communication standard uses its own data transfer protocols. The Internet, like modern digital satellite television, uses the DVB-S2 format.
Experts distinguish two types of satellite Internet connections: symmetrical and asymmetrical. This difference is primarily related to the organization of incoming (from the Internet) and outgoing (transfer to the Internet) traffic transmission channels.
1. Symmetrical Internet access implies that data from and to the satellite is transmitted using one antenna and two (or one) transmitter. The cost of the receiver is approximately 500-1000 rubles, but for the transmitter you will have to pay a tidy sum (from 30 thousand rubles). If you buy a complex transceiver right away, it will cost even more.
It is precisely because of the high cost that this type of connection is not popular among ordinary users.
In this sense, it is much more accessible due to its cost-effectiveness. It involves using only an incoming connection via satellite (i.e., only a cheap receiver is required for the antenna), and the outgoing connection is organized through any terrestrial communication channel.
Which can be used as an old modem cell phone, analog modem landline phone(DSL), local cable network.
Efficiency of this type connection is explained by the fact that the user most often uses the Internet to download media content, view email messages or visit social networks. Those. The average user most often sends short requests to the Internet and downloads large amounts of data from the Internet.
Since the satellite coverage area is huge, the data is transmitted to all users at once. In order for a subscriber to allocate a data channel specifically intended for him, it is necessary to identify his electromagnetic wave (carrier).
The parameters of this carrier are provided by the satellite Internet provider. And they include:
In addition, the same carrier wave typically contains data from multiple users. To identify them, special identifiers (PID, LID) and the MAC address of the receiving card (receiver) are used.
Also, to organize a more reliable connection, they are used special programs(accelerators), which, in addition to encrypting traffic, also compress it, which saves the satellite’s frequency resource and helps increase data transmission speed.
The standard set for organizing asymmetric Internet access includes satellite parabolic antenna, feed with built-in downconverter, cable and receiver (DVB card).
The main parameter of the antenna is the diameter of its mirror. The larger it is, the greater the gain, and, therefore, better signal reception.
Typically, the diameter of the antenna mirror is selected based on the geographic location of the subscriber and the satellite coverage area (can be obtained from the provider). Most often, antennas with a mirror diameter of 0.6 - 1.5 m are chosen for home use.
A feature of the choice of mounting location is the need for direct visibility between the satellite and the antenna, as well as the orientation of the antenna to the south (for residents of Russia, the geostationary orbit is located in the south).
2). Irradiator (converter). The feed is the receiving part of the antenna, which includes a polarizer, a low-noise amplifier and a downconverter (frequency converter).
The polarizer is determined by the type of polarization used (circular or linear). Although there are now models on the market that use both types of polarization.
For the irradiator also important characteristic is the operating frequency range. Satellite Internet providers operate in the Ku-band (10.7 – 12.75 GHz).
For home use, it is preferable to purchase irradiators with two outputs. This way you can use one antenna to view digital satellite television and to access the Internet.
3). Cable. The main characteristics of the cable are characteristic impedance and attenuation coefficient. The characteristic impedance should be 75 Ohms. And with attenuation everything is simple - the less it is, the better. For a cable 10-15 meters long, attenuation can be ignored.
4).DVB card (receiver). The most popular manufacturers of DVB cards are:
The main parameters for choosing a DVB card are the supported data processing protocol and the card interface.
But there is no and cannot be a clear opinion about the card connection interface. Here everyone decides for himself. I used the card with PCI interface. It was convenient for me - I inserted it into the computer, connected the cable and forgot about the card.
If you use a laptop, it is better to purchase a DVB card with USB interface. Just pay attention to the presence of external power.
There is another option, a card with a built-in GPRS modem. In this case, as a rule, there is also an external GSM antenna. The option, in principle, is also not bad.
5). Software usually supplied with a DVB card. Main function software is setting up a connection and organizing direct asymmetric Internet access, i.e. combining two different data networks: satellite and, for example, GPRS/3G.
Accelerators are also usually included in the software. The most common software is DVB-Data and Tuner4PC.
In large cities, wired and wireless Internet, and install satellite dish, probably not necessary.
But for non-regional centers and residents of rural areas, most often there is simply no other alternative. Since the number of providers is steadily growing from year to year, this leads to lively competition and, as a result, lower prices for communication services.
The approximate cost of the equipment will be 2000-3000 rubles. Tariffs for communication services will need to be clarified with your provider (by the way, there are also unlimited tariffs).
Another nice addition to satellite Internet is the availability free access to open satellite television channels.
It is gaining more and more momentum in our country. Many companies providing satellite television reception as an accompanying or additional service They also offer Internet via satellite connection. Such popularity is understandable: this “type” of the Internet has a number of advantages that we are increasingly beginning to appreciate.
When considering the advantages of such an Internet, we first of all talk about its accessibility. Communication using a “dish” can be easily organized at any point within the satellite coverage area. That is, you can have satellite Internet at home even where there is no way to install a cable or telephone line.
Another significant advantage of such a connection is the high speed at which data is transferred, combined with a fairly reasonable price per unit of traffic.
The main problem here is only one - in order to transmit return data from the user, satellite Internet requires a separate channel - terrestrial (if we are not talking about a two-way option). As a rule, such transmission is carried out using ADSL, GPRS or dial-up technologies.
Perhaps, to the disadvantages we should also add dependence on the weather and the possibility of signal delay. But if there are no other options, the Internet via a satellite dish becomes indispensable. After all, today it is simply vital for many. For example, satellite Internet in a private house located “far from civilization” will have to be carried out one way or another if you cannot imagine a full life without the Internet.
If you decide to install satellite Internet in a private home, you will need to purchase, in addition to the dish itself, a cable for it, as well as a DVB receiver, and a computer DVB card. And don't forget about the converter and mounting bracket.
In addition, stock up on F-connectors - they are used to connect cables to converters. If you plan to completely install and connect the dish yourself, do not forget about the heat shrink, which is needed to insulate the cable with the F-connector, and also provide mounting anchors for the bracket.
So, let's start setting up satellite Internet with our own hands. The DVB receiver needs to be properly tuned to the satellite. First of all, you need to configure the terrestrial channel according to the requirements of the provider and technical features connections. For insertion, you can use any of the free slots on the computer, after which the necessary drivers are installed, which are available on the installation disk sold in the kit.
You will learn how to properly configure the driver you installed from the disk from the attached instructions. Your task is only to carefully follow it step by step. After installing the drivers, we create a network connection. It is advisable to download the GlobaX program online. If this point causes you difficulties, contact the place where you purchased the satellite equipment.
It would seem that connecting and setting up satellite Internet with your own hands is very difficult. But in fact, by following the instructions included in the kit, you can do everything quite efficiently and quickly. In addition, many sellers of equipment for such Internet now offer installation and full customization. This condition should be clarified when making a purchase.
Most individual users are only familiar with one-way Internet access (also called asynchronous or asymmetric). To have full access, you need to organize a “terrestrial” line (it is needed so that you can transmit the outgoing signal), and for the incoming signal you will need to establish a connection between the dish and the satellite. And connecting satellite Internet with your own hands is a very real task.
Having acquired a converter, cable and DVB, let's get down to business. At the first stage, you will need to connect to the World Wide Web using any type of communication. This can be done using 3G, GPRS or Dial-up modems, as well as using a dedicated DSL line (if available).
Once you go online, find as much information as possible about providers that offer Internet via satellite dish. You will have to study and systematize for yourself the names and locations of the satellites they use, compare the parameters of transponders and clarify maps of the area covered by the signal. Be sure to check whether your address is in the area where the signal is received.
As a result of this information research, you have in your hands a list of providers suitable for those living specifically in your area, with all the conditions and technical characteristics. From here you can already choose one.
Do not forget that for high-quality satellite signal reception, the antenna should not be blocked by any obstacles in the form of houses or trees.
To find out whether it is possible for you to receive a signal from the selected satellite, install the program Satellite Antenna Alignment (it's free). The coordinates of the satellite itself are entered into it, then yours - your home and locality. The program will calculate the location of the satellite relative to your point - elevation angle, azimuth, etc. Using these data, check again for the presence or absence of obstacles.
If you have the opportunity to receive a signal from different providers, the final choice should be made by comparing their tariffs.
In addition, the required antenna diameter is important - this parameter is contained in the coverage maps, as well as the type of convector (C or Ku bands), it depends on the signal frequency. When buying a network card, take the time to compare the characteristics of all commercially available options to choose the most suitable one.
At the next stage we move on to the installation of equipment. Having dealt with this, we insert the network card into the computer slot and install its software. Having selected a suitable location (so that the selected satellite is accessible), we install the antenna there. Then we attach the convector to it and connect it to the network card via a cable.
The next step should be to check the satellite signal. Tuner program network card input of its parameters is provided - frequency, speed, polarization and FEC (information redundancy coefficient). The antenna must be oriented exactly in the direction of the satellite; this is done using the same free program.
If everything is done correctly, the network card’s tuner should detect the signal from the satellite. How exactly to work with a specific tuner program is indicated in the user manual for the network card.
Having received a signal, you can go to the website of the provider of this satellite, register as a client and subscribe. You will have at your disposal Personal Area with all the necessary technical information- IP addresses, options for connection types, payment methods, etc. By choosing the option that suits you and paying for the service, you can enjoy access to World Wide Web using a satellite.
Practical note: when choosing a satellite, look at what it broadcasts from television programs. The optimal choice would be to get Internet and TV “in one bottle.”
Many people are wondering whether it is now possible to connect satellite Internet via Tricolor and how to do it. Unfortunately, on this moment this does not seem possible. Services provided under the Tricolor-Internet brand are no longer provided - their provision has been suspended since March 2012.
The company's management explained this by the small number of subscribers using this service (only about 0.1% of the total).
Maybe in the future this decision will be canceled as the company announced its intention to completely revise its strategy. Possible option two-way internet via satellite. Previously used equipment was able to be distributed to provide services in demand among clients.
If you want to do away with phone lines and fiber optics forever, then you need to look into two-way provisioning. satellite communications(two-way). This connection is symmetrical and is based on forward and reverse signal transmission exclusively via satellite.
In this case, the antenna should be purchased in the Ku-band and having a diameter of 1.2-1.8 meters, with a receiving LNB unit and a transmitting BUC. There are no other equipment restrictions.
Some may think that equipping two-way satellite Internet with your own hands is too much. difficult task. It's actually quite simple.
The antenna is assembled strictly according to the included instructions. The mounting location must be prepared in advance. It is important to determine which antenna position will be correct. This depends on the angle of the terrain, the direction in which the satellite is located, the distance to existing obstacles and the load created by the wind on its mirror.
To do this before fastening, use some other satellite system(for example, television).
Using the smwlink program installed by you, the antenna is oriented to the south. Having fixed the plate vertically, we connect the speaker to the sound card.
A program that allows you to determine the signal level - Fast Sat Finder. Using it, rotating the antenna, find and fix its maximum level.
Then connect your computer (laptop) and install necessary programs and drivers.
If you are going to connect to the satellite using desktop computer, you will need to buy and install a DVB card. You should get an external DVB device for your laptop.
When setting up the antenna, test it with a computer. This process is quite long and labor-intensive. Even if there is no interference on the screen, this is not a guarantee of high-quality data transmission. Achieving stability in your network is not easy.
After setting up the antenna, start connecting to your provider. Procedure in in this case completely similar to what was described above - go to the website of the selected provider, submit an application, pay.
Thus, we see that connecting two-way satellite Internet from a hardware point of view is not much more difficult than the so-called one-way - one-way (using an amplifier-converter). But the disadvantage of the latter is its lower speed compared to a symmetrical connection.
Of course, it is quite possible to install and configure any equipment by professionals, but this also has its drawbacks. We are not talking about additional costs. But sometimes you will not always be able to understand the quality of the services provided, and many of these adjusters work with the help of just a household receiver, which guarantees almost nothing.
Many people, who are not specialists at all, quite successfully set up two-way satellite Internet with their own hands and never regret it later. So the choice is yours.
The satellite television system is a supply complex whose main purpose is to receive television programs. This broadcasting is carried out using special communication satellites located in geostationary orbits. Their location is near the equator.
This type of television is becoming more common. And millions of families own satellite dishes. To install and connect them, they most often enlist the help of professionals. But even an ordinary person can set up satellite dishes. You don't need to have any special skills or knowledge to do this. It's not such a difficult matter self-configuration satellite antenna, the price of which, even without paying for the services of a specialist, is significant for an ordinary person.
After the decision was made to self-installation and setting up a satellite dish, you need to decide on the satellite. This means that you need to select an operator for this type of television whose signal it will receive.
The name of this television arose due to the fact that a whole system is used to provide it orbital satellites in space. They broadcast the signal received from television stations to vast areas located on Earth.
Satellite dishes are a kind of receiver. After receiving the signal, it is reflected onto the collecting head, which is called a convector. He transmits it to the receiver - a device for tuning satellite dishes and decoding. And only after passing through all these stages does it appear on the TV screen in the form of image and sound.
There are 2 types of satellites. Some are used for broadcasting open channels, others are encrypted. There are cases when the owners of equipment on a satellite are different operators. Then, setting up a satellite dish yourself involves purchasing a special card in order to separately decode each channel. But in most cases, a group of channels makes up a package. And to restore access to them, it is enough to have one single card.
Broadcast Russian-language channels carried out from different satellites. They are located at different latitudes and meridians. To ensure signal reception from the selected source, you need to point the antenna precisely at it and correctly set the receiving frequency. If the selected satellites are separated by a significant distance, you can receive a signal from them using just one antenna.
During the selection process, you need to consider whether it is possible to point your antenna at a specific signal source. If any objects (neighboring buildings, trees, etc.) will create significant interference with its flow, you need to install it on the roof of the house. If this is not possible, you should try to tune the antenna to other satellites located in the visibility zone.
It is not difficult to guess that one antenna and its signal are not enough. In order to set up a satellite dish with your own hands, you need to have, correctly install and configure an entire system of satellite equipment. It can be purchased at a specialty store.
Basic elements for assembly:
Do-it-yourself installation and configuration of a satellite dish is carried out with the following tools:
The correct setting of satellite dishes depends on the choice of location for their installation. In this case, several nuances need to be taken into account. In order for a signal to be received from a satellite, it must be able to easily reach the receiving mirror. Therefore, it is necessary to install the antenna as high as possible. Rooftops are ideal for this.
In order to correctly calculate the elevation (elevation angle) and azimuth of all satellites separately, use the Satellite program. It differs from other similar services in that it determines these characteristics for all satellites simultaneously. You can immediately see which satellites are available at a given antenna location and which are not.
But here the calculation is purely theoretical. But in practice, many factors and interferences need to be taken into account. But this program for setting up a satellite dish helps to more accurately estimate the position.
Most of the tuners that are on sale are already wired with channels. Therefore, there is no need to scan and sort them. This provides more convenient and simpler setup.
To implement it, you need to connect the TV and satellite receiver to the electrical network. Then you need to turn on the required channel on the Astra, because the satellite antenna will be tuned to the satellite at its focus (in other words, at its center).
After this, press the “Info” button on the remote control. When necessary channels are not present on the satellite, you need to edit the transponder frequencies. If they are not registered there, you need to do it yourself. When they are driven into the scales on the screen, it will be possible to determine the strength and quality of the signal.
There are several in this process important points. For example, you need to properly and thoroughly strip the cable. You must also be very careful when connecting the F-connector, since otherwise a short circuit between the braid and the central core may occur. In the worst case, the receiver will be damaged.
No less important is correct connection cable to the desired LNB_IN output.
If you connect the entire assembly, you can configure the disk ports. But this is a more difficult independent setup of a satellite dish.
Now the antenna is located approximately correctly and turned in the expected direction of the satellite. You need to go to the settings of the receiver (tuner) and select the appropriate satellite there. After this, you should specify the correct frequency, speed and polarization for it. For example, for the Sirius satellite these indicators are 11766, 2750 and N, respectively.
Then you can see two bars on the screen. The first will show that the signal is caught by the dish, and the second will show its power. If the satellite dish is installed correctly, the signal level should be more than 40%. You just need to increase the quality value, which at this stage is within 0.
If it is not possible to simultaneously adjust the antenna and watch the TV screen, you need to enlist the help of an assistant. He will be responsible for correcting your actions. Then setting up satellite dishes will not take much time, but will be done quite quickly and with better quality.
First you need to turn the plate completely to the right side up. From this position, you need to slowly rotate it to the left and continuously monitor the strength of the signal on the TV screen.
If this attempt to capture a signal is unsuccessful, you need to lower the satellite dish a few millimeters down and repeat it all over again.
Setting up satellite dishes involves painstakingly searching for a signal using manual adjustment.
Setting up the Tricolor satellite dish is practically no different from other analogues:
Before purchasing the “Telecard TV” kit in a specialized store, you should decide what diameter the plate should be. In this case, you need to take into account your location relative to the satellite. The size of its diameter can vary from 60 to 90 cm.
The Telekarta TV satellite dish is configured for the Intelsat-15 satellite. If it is not in the list of your receiver, you need to enter its data yourself:
Then you should check the characteristics of the transponder: the frequency should be 12640 MHz, the symbol rate should be 30000, FEC - 5/6, vertical polarization type and broadcast format - MPEG2, DVB-S.
After starting the search, the receiver should find 18 channels. The "Telecard TV" package does not contain high-definition HD channels, so when connecting it to more modern TV models, you need to take into account HD satellite receivers. They convert the satellite signal and “show” a clearer image when receiving Telecard TV.
In order to fix the antenna position, the signal quality indicator must be at least 20%. Now you can lightly turn it in both directions in order to achieve the minimum, which is 40%.
But this is far from the end of this painstaking and difficult work. In order for the entire system to work correctly, 60-80% quality is needed. This can only be achieved by manipulating the convector. To do this, turn it clockwise or counterclockwise until the signal level becomes satisfactory.
Then you need to adjust the side convectors (if any). It is much easier to configure additional heads, since the main one already fully performs its functions. For each of them, you need to indicate the corresponding satellite and pick up the signal. This process is similar to that carried out with the main head.
Now all that's left to do is set up the satellite dish channels and adjust the TV itself. To do this, you should organize all the channels - arrange them in a way that will be convenient for each owner. Some may need to be removed or blocked. This process is individual for each user.
How to make settings satellite channels? It is difficult to install an antenna without experience. But you can figure this out on your own. If you have patience and no desire to pay installers for their services, then this instruction is for you.
These same specialists were once without experience and knowledge, like you. But they learned their craft. Put in the effort and you will succeed. Moreover, after practicing on your antenna, you will be able to provide services to your friends or family.
Be prepared for the fact that you may not succeed right away. It may take a week to first set up and install the antenna, but then you can complete all these steps in a couple of hours.
Before choosing satellite channels, you need to decide from which satellite you will receive them. There are a huge number of such objects flying in space, and they are all broadcast by different TV channels.
Signals from the following devices are perfectly received in Russia:
Hot Bird at 13.0 degrees east longitude (several Russian channels and a large package of adult channels);
Express AMU1 at 36 degrees E. (Tricolor TV and NTV+);
Express AM6 at 53.0 degrees E. d.;
Yamal 402 at 54.9 degrees east. d.;
Express AT1 at 56.0 degrees E. (Tricolor TV Siberia and NTV+Vostok);
ABS 2 at 75.0 degrees E. d. (MTS TV);
Horizons 2 & Intelsat 15 at 85.0 degrees E. d. ("Continent TV"/"Telecard")
Yamal 401 at 90.0 degrees east. d.;
Express AM33 at 96.5 degrees E. d.
Of course, there are other satellites, but these are in demand due to large quantity Russian-language channels. At all other sites there are no Russian channels, or they exist, but in very small quantities.
The ones mentioned have both paid and paid ones. In the list above, all paid packages have been indicated in parentheses. Please note that Tricolor TV and NTV+ are broadcast on 36 and 56 degrees, but are called slightly differently. The channels and frequencies differ slightly there. Moreover, the encoding used is also different.
The satellite, located at a position of 56 degrees, is most focused on the eastern part of Russia. And packages located at position 36 degrees are on the European part.
If you do not plan to buy cards for paid viewing or use sharing, then you need to choose satellites where a lot of broadcasts are broadcast. free channels. For example, an excellent option would be a multi-feed consisting of satellites at positions 75, 85 and 90. All these signals can be received on one antenna since they are located close to each other. You can catch many open Russian channels using them.
If you have a large antenna at home (180 centimeters in diameter), then you can hang a couple more heads at the edges. But it will be difficult for you to do this from scratch without experience. First, catch at least something with the head in the center (as shown in the figure), and then make additional fastenings to receive other satellites.
For setup and further viewing you need special equipment. The complete set can always be purchased in specialized stores. If you want to watch NTV+, MTS TV, Tricolor TV or something else, then you can buy the equipment along with the receiver there.
If you do not plan to watch paid channels, use sharing or watch only open ones, then it is better to buy from a store that is not associated with these television providers.
Satellite antennas and heads are almost the same everywhere. But there is one difference. Some channels are broadcast on frequencies with circular polarization, and some - with linear polarization. In heads for circular polarization, a special plate is installed inside, which refracts the signal.
Also different. It is advisable to take modern ones that support digital television latest generation. Older models do not accept many channels.
Satellite channel settings are made only after the antenna is assembled.
It must be secured as firmly as possible. Otherwise, in a strong wind it will move. And changing the position by even a couple of millimeters will greatly change the quality of the signal.
Of course, you first need to firmly secure only the legs, and not the entire antenna. Otherwise it will be motionless.
When attaching the antenna, you need to choose a position so that it faces in the direction where one or another satellite is located.
Now you can find many programs that help determine their position using GPS. All you have to do is point the antenna in the direction the phone tells you to.
Self-tuning of satellite dish channels is done using special equipment. An example is shown in the figure below.
If you do not plan to do this in the future, then there is no need to spend extra money. It is better to use the receiver that you bought for viewing. It also picks up signals very well.
You need to open the frequency table of the channels of the satellite you need and enter the required value into the receiver.
If you have a modern model, then fresh and working frequencies should be programmed into its database, which makes the search much easier. There is no need to manually enter so many numbers.
After you have entered the frequency, flow rate, and polarization, you will need to move the antenna and head until the signal quality is as high as possible. If the signal quality is poor, your picture will either disappear or have various interferences. And in bad weather you will only watch a painting by Malevich. Therefore, you need to try to achieve the maximum signal level.
Once you achieve the best signal, you need to start a search so that the channels are fixed in the database. The operating principle of all receivers is the same. Only the design changes. Plus, there are always hints.
Settings for satellite channels on your TV can be done using the same principle. Only the receiver is used built-in, not external. But there are some disadvantages here. The built-in receivers in the TV cannot open paid channels using sharing or any firmware. You will have to watch only open channels or buy an official card.
Before setting up your antenna, think twice and study where and what channels are broadcast. Please note that many of them are duplicated on all Russian-language satellites. Therefore, there is no point in catching every single one of them.
Enjoy your viewing!
