Why do earth stations need to be attributed a Eutelsat earth station code prior to accessing the Eutelsat space segment?
The Eutelsat earth station code identifies univocally the earth station and in particular, allows the control and monitoring of its access to the Eutelsat space segment. The code is composed of two or three fields separated by a hyphen: Country code (maximum three letters, e.g. F for France, ITA for Italy, etc.) Town or site code (maximum three letters e.g. PAR for Paris) Progressive three digit code. For example: F-PAR-001 For transportable earth stations, only the first and third field are normally present: For example: F-999 For VSATs, the second field is replaced by a three-letter code with the abbreviation of the VSAT network name; the third field contains four digits and is followed by the letter V.
