A satellite dish
An essential element of the equipment, the dish reflects the satellite communications signal to and from the transceiver. Generally, the dish measures 74cm in diameter, but can be 90cm or 120cm if required.
A transceiver
The transceiver emits and receives the communications then sends them to the modem to decode. Usually, the transceiver power is 1W but in some cases a 2W transceiver may be used to improve signal strength.
A modem
The modem is sometimes referred to as an internet box. Its purpose is to decode the communications signals received and encode signals which are to be transmitted.
