A satellite terminal is a specialized device that enables communication between satellites and ground-based systems. It acts as a gateway, transmitting and receiving data signals such as internet, voice, or video over long distances, often where traditional network infrastructure is unavailable. Satellite terminals are used in a variety of applications, including remote internet access, emergency response, military operations, and maritime or aviation communications. They typically include an antenna, modem, and interface for connecting to user devices, ensuring reliable data exchange even in challenging environments.
