Enabling the Satellite Feature, page A-4 Cisco TelePresence over Satellite Networks The Cisco TelePresence over Satellite Networks solution extends the reach of Cisco TelePresence to remote, tactical locations where terrestrial bandwidth is not available. This solution incorporates existing Cisco TelePresence endpoint and infrastructure products with new software releases designed to function more effectively on poor, high-delay networks.
Page 414: Supported Cts Devices
You will need a minimum of 3-MB bandwidth (at 720p, good motion handling) in a single-channel-per-carrier (SCPC) configuration over a single-hop satellite link. Because the Cisco TelePresence video and audio are traveling up to the satellite and back down to an Note earth station, significant (500 ms or more) latency is introduced into the signal.
