Sat head-end tree networks are similar to broad communication network:
certain stations broadcast by satellites are converted on one channel in the
broadband communications network. The number of channels here is limited by the
frequency band available. Due to the high bandwidth required by each channel,
converting all signals broadcast via satellite is not possible. Frequently, these systems
are deployed where the a number of endpoints is > 100 (typically, from 300 to
several thousand). As a rule, these types of installations are found in hotels.
