Thanks for the responces, the proposal as rightly said is no different
from Wireless networks deployed by ISP in small communities.

I think you are zeroing-in on a plan that will work. My point is that a
20Km radius is NOT a small community. While the VSAT link may have
sufficient bandwidth, your wireless distribution system may not.

It would help reduce the load by using a higher bandwidth method such as
fiber, to interconnect the various local wireless base stations to the
VSAT terminal, rather than using the wireless systems themselves for
inter-site distribution.

Remember that a wireless system's bandwidth is divided among all the
users. As more users access the network at any one time, the slower
will be the response.
