TDMA demand assignment operation in Telecom 1 business services network
Abstract
Telecom 1 is a French domestic satellite whose main function is the establishment of an intracompany network carrying a wide range of digital services, including digital data, voice, and images, among a large number of earth stations located on the subscriber's premises. This satellite system is to begin operations in 1983 from a geostationary orbit, using five 6-MHz bandwidth transponders in the 14/12 GHz band. TDMA with Demand Assignment will be employed, and the system is designed to provide additional, link-by-link cryptographic or error correction encoding facilities when a high degree of privacy or transmission quality are desired.
