Abstract
The Americom satellite communications system is described with respect to data service offerings that range from teletype traffic to wideband services in excess of 60 Mbps. Present wideband services are discussed, along with voice bandwidth data, satellite channel delay, bit rate variations, and the commercial wideband data system known as 56 Plus. Attention is given to the forward error correction, TDMA transmission, terminal operation, and piggyback data on TV distribution.
