A VSAT station and a VSAT communication system have a demand assign multiple access function for keeping a transmission path only for a required period of time to effectively use frequencies. The VSAT station has a transmission controller for temporarily reading and storing communication data 41 to be transmitted in buffer 42 and outputting the stored communication data as transmission data 43 after elapsed of a given period of time. Communication traffic monitoring circuit 45 monitors the stored amount of communication data in buffer 42 and outputs communication path selecting signal 46. Transmission data switching circuit 44 selects a transmission circuit to transmit the transmission data. If the communication traffic between communicating stations is increased, then dedicated line 49 is established in another frequency band. If CSC line 48 is congested, then dedicated line 49 is established to reduce the burden on CSC line 48. Thus, frequencies are effectively used and expenses for using the satellite repeater are reduced.
