SATELLITE FLEET AND SPECIFICATIONS
All control and monitoring activities for Türksat satellites are carried out at Gölbaşı Central Campus in Ankara.
The Main and Back-up Ground Control Stations located at two different points of the region. They ensure that all satellites
remain in-orbit with an uninterrupted and safe manner supported by back-up antennas, electronic systems, data processing
systems and other infrastructure hardware. Furthermore, all monitoring and control operations are managed from these
stations.
Both stations have fully backed-up Satellite Control System, Monitoring and Control System, Communication Monitoring
Center, BB/RF Systems, Encryption Center, Uninterrupted Power Supply Systems and sub-systems. Furthermore, the Dynamic
Satellite Simulators at the Main and Back-up Ground Control Stations are used for the training of operators as well as testing
and approving the operational procedures to be executed on the satellite.
The Main Ground Control Station, which has been included in the “World Tracking Network”, can support the launch and
orbiting of Türksat satellites and other satellites.

Via VSAT terminals, TÜRKSAT-3A can also be used for the provision of internet,
voice and image transmission services to areas lacking radio-link and cable
transmission infrastructure due to geographical conditions. The satellite
enables the provision of these services at much lower costs relative to the past.
Following the issue of licenses for 3G communication services, TÜRKSAT-3A will
be able to service in this area as well.

TÜRKSATVSAT
What is VSAT
TürksatVSAT
VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) system is the common name
of satellite ground stations with small-diameter antennas (0,8 m
- 2,4 m). VSAT system ensures two-way satellite communication
between Central Ground Station (Hub Station) and geographically
distant points. VSAT systems support many services such as voice
and data transmission, internet, intranet, video conference, etc.
In line with the satellite communication needs that have arisen
as parallel to today’s developing and diversified communication
needs, Türksat offers to its clients the TürksatVSAT System that
provides services like voice and data transmission, internet,
intranet, e-health (tele-medicine), e-education (tele-education),
emergency communication, VPN and multimedia individually or in
packages.
Through agreements concluded with various ministries and government agencies in our country, Türksat is providing technical
infrastructure services enabling faster and more effective communication between the central and local organizations of
these agencies. Government agencies are able to communicate at lower costs and with greater security, using TürksatVSAT.
The agencies that have branches and presentation offices across the country and abroad are equipped with a strong
communication infrastructure using the facilities provided by fast, secure and interactive communication network made
available through broadband TürksatVSAT services.

Emergency Communication
Emergency communication is one of the most crucial services needed in cases of natural disasters, warfare and mobilization.
At moments when classical communication systems are interrupted, satellite communication is the most appropriate,
easiest and uninterrupted solution.
TürksatVSAT systems provides the ability to communicate from anywhere without being bound to terrestrial infrastructure
at times when emergency communication needs arise, through easy portability and practical use features. Since the VSAT
terminals to be used for communication in emergency cases are portable and movable, they can quickly be moved to the
desired place and meet the communication needs in the area where it is installed.
During the Marmara Earthquake in 1999, communication was enabled with the provinces of Yalova, Düzce, Adapazarı and
İzmit through Türksat emergency communication systems.

In addition to TV and radio broadcasts, Mobile Satellite
Ground Stations also enable 30-channel telephone
communication at 2 Mbit capacity as necessary.
Turkey (located in-between two out of the three ocean regions aſter the separation of the globe into three oceanic regions for
global satellite communications) is included within the coverage areas of satellites in both regions (Atlantic and Indian). Our
stations are capable of using a significant portion of the satellites belonging to other satellite operators. Temporary broadcast
services are offered in line with the domestic and overseas requests in cases where need for temporary broadcast arises,
mainly being overseas.
Through the existing wide antenna and uplink stations in Gölbaşı campus, broadcasts can be received from the satellites of
other operators, transmited to them or delivered to users via the terrestrial infrastructure. These lines may be either fiber
optical lines or a second satellite uplink chain.
