The Telecom 1 satellite system - Architecture of the common channel signalling network
Abstract
The Telecom 1 satellite system will be the first French public multiservice digital network for large corporate and professional customers, rendering such services as telephony, low speed data transmission, high speed computer communications, and videoconferencing. Two novel features of the system, designated 'part-time leased-line service' and 'broadcast facility', are suitable for the implementation of advanced computer networking applications such as distributed data bases, network job entry systems, and backup or load-sharing among computer centers. Access to Telecom 1 services is by way of about 300 stations throughout Europe, concentrated in France.
