What term refers to the DoD SATCOM entry point that connects deployed users to fixed gateways and DISN services?

• A. Range
• B. DoD SATCOM entry point connecting deployed users to fixed gateways and DISN services
• C. Teleport site
• D. Scintillation

Answer: (B)

In DoD SATCOM, the interface where deployed users connect into the network to reach fixed gateways and DISN services is the entry point that defines this bridging role. The best answer is the option that literally names this function—the DoD SATCOM entry point connecting deployed users to fixed gateways and DISN services—because it directly describes the specific interface used to route field users into the broader network and onward to DISN services.

Think of it as the link between tactical terminals in the field and the fixed infrastructure that ties into the rest of the DISN. While a teleport site is a physical facility that houses gateway equipment, it’s not the term that denotes the entry point itself. Scintillation is a propagation effect, and range refers to distance, not the network interface.
