Which term best describes the DoD SATCOM entry point that connects deployed users to fixed gateways and DISN services?

• A. Range
• B. Teleport site
• C. SAR
• D. Scintillation

Answer: (B)

The entry point that connects deployed users to fixed gateways and DISN services is a teleport site. In DoD SATCOM architecture, a teleport site terminates satellite links and provides the interface to the terrestrial network, housing the equipment that uplinks and downlinks to the satellite and routes traffic into fixed gateways and the DISN. This makes it the access point through which remote users reach the fixed network. The other terms don’t fit: a range is a testing area, SAR is a radar imaging system, and scintillation is a propagation phenomenon that can affect signals, not a network access point.
