VSAT networks come in various shapes and sizes ranging from point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and on demand for thousands of sites based on a dedicated facility located at their own site. Mesh systems have traditionally been somewhat smaller in size than star systems - 5 to 30 sites used to be a good rule of thumb - but since prices have come down, some networks now comprise as many as several hundred or even thousands of sites.
