Prodelin VSAT dishes with transmit.reject filter in OMT, nothing special, most international corporations have these on their offices to communicate thru IP or Frame Relay in one big corporate LAN.

Just come back from Egypt (Dahab, Sinai peninsula), dishes pop up on the poorest looking of houses sometimes, sorry no pics - what was I thinking? Mostly 1-1.2M prime focus looking at the sky....
