The role of satellites in achieving ISDN
Abstract
This paper first describes the main steps of evolution of telecommunication network from the present stage towards Integrated Services Digital Networks, then studies the roles of satellite in this evolution both in the short term and in the long term. As an example, the basic principles and the architecture of the French satellite system TELECOM 1, which will offer commercial services at the end of 1983, are described.
