==Problem positioning== Problem positioning:

The satcom lab of Télécom Bretagne will soon be equipped with a TooWay/KA SAT facilities (bi-directional internet via satellite) that come in two flavours: a fixed antenna for access within the lab and a fly away antenna for on-the field access. On-the-field access is provided through a transportable terminal (see pictures below). The transportable terminal integrates a modem, networking facilities and end-devices (e.g., DECT/VOIP phones).

The objective of this project is to design and integrate the portable terminal taking into account all aspects: communication, networking and physical integration.

==Introduction== Introduction
The transportable terminal provides services in inhospitable and isolated locations. In particular, our aim consists in bringing internet access through wired and Wi-Fi IP network and to provide internal and external VoIP calls. The terminal is composed of two antennas (one fixe and another one mobile) and a modem to receive the signal from the Ka-Sat satellite and convert it into digital signal. One router, a Dect and some IP phones constitute the second part of the terminal to share the network between the internet access and the phone calls. In the first part of the project, we have identified the use cases and the corresponding network architecture (address and routing plan). Then we proceed with the integration of the networking and communication components in a ruggedized flight case. Later we have connected the transportable terminal to the fixe antenna to realize some tests and demonstrations of the overall system. The terminal is transportable with its mobile antenna and could be used during important and catastrophic events by the red cross for instance to keep them in touch with the head quarter.

+Use Use cases 1:+ 1: Internet Access through wired IP network
The use case 1 consists in providing internet access through wired network. The user must connect its machine to the local area network via a wired cable. For instance the user will connect its machine with an Ethernet cable to the router. The router will furnish a local IP address via DHCP. Finally the user will have access to internet and services as HTTP, SMTP, FTP, Streaming... Since the networking is sharing amongst users, there will be some restrictions on the data rate.

+Use Use cases 2:+ 2: Internet Access through wireless IP network
The use case 2 consists in providing internet access through wireless network. The user must connect its machine to the local area network through Wi-Fi. The router will furnish a local IP address via DHCP to the user. Nevertheless, the user must be authorized by the administrator to be connected to the network thanks to a logging and a password. In fact the Wi-Fi can be received by anyone around the terminal that is the reason why we must restrict the connection by a password. Finally, after connection, the user will have access to internet and services as HTTP, SMTP, FTP, Streaming... Since the networking is sharing amongst users, there will be some restrictions on the data rate.

+Use Use case 3:+ 3: Voice over IP
The use case 3 consists in providing a phone call over Internet. The user will dial a number on hardphones available in the flight case. The call will be establish via voice over IP. There are two possibilities, whether it is an internal call, and so the speaker we intend to reach is on the same local network. In this case there should not have too much time delay and the phone call is totally free. Whether it is an external phone call, and there will have at least 400 ms of time delay. It is corresponding to the time the wave takes to travel from the two speakers via the satellite. In this case the phone call is not free, so some restrictions as international call must be establish.
