A DAMA system is typically a "single hop" satellite transmission network, which allows direct connection between any two nodes in the network among many users sharing a limited "pool" of satellite transponder space.
DAMA supports full mesh, point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communications -- any user can connect directly to any other user anywhere within the network. The result is economical and flexible bandwidth sharing with any mix of voice, FAX, video and data traffic. DAMA optimises the use of satellite capacity by automatically allocating satellite resources to each active node upon demand. Users typically pay for satellite capacity used, plus a network maintenance fee.
