1. Understanding the Tooway hardware
Upon signing the service contract, the client is supplied with a number of hardware items to facilitate
the use of their Internet service. The basic components are described below:
1.1
Tooway Modem
The Tooway Modem is used to establish data transfers using a
satellite as a relay. The modem’s main function is to transform an
input bitstream to a radio signal and vice versa.
1.2
Satellite Dish
A satellite dish is an antenna with a curved reflective
surface that is used to collect and project radio waves.
The Tooway satellite dish is designed to send and receive
microwaves to and from the communication satellite.
1.3 TRIA
A TRIA (Transmit and Receive Integrated Assembly) is a
device used to process signals to and from the dish and
the satellite. It converts the high frequency KA-‐band
satellite signals to and from the L-‐band microwave
signals used for the transmission between the dish and
the modem.
