The VMS has the capability to accommodate applications involving satellite
cross strapping and cross banding. The VMS is able to recognize, manage, and
control satellite circuits which utilize more than one frequency. The typical
satellite bands currently in use include:
• C-Band
• Downlink 3.7 to 4.2GHz
• Uplink 5.9 to 6.4GHz
• 24 36MHz transponders
• Ku-Band
• Downlink 11.7 to 12.2 GHz
• Uplink 14.0 to 14.5 GHz (FSS)
• 24 36MHz or 12 72MHz transponders
• Ka-Band
• Downlink 17.7 – 21.2GHz
• Uplink 27.5 – 31.0GHz
The VMS cross banding function allows VMS to manage and control the
following satellite circuit configurations:
• Two remote terminals are in different antenna footprints on the same
satellite where, for example, one antenna serves C-band users while
another antenna serves Ku band users.
