How it works

- From the Field to a "distant" Gateway via KA-SAT (which Gateway among the 8 Operational Gateways will be depends on the Beam from which the contribution is done)
- From the Gateway into the KA-SAT Fiber Backbone
- From the Fiber Backbone to the MCR via the closest point of presence (POP)
