System configurations and applications in domestic/regional satellite communications
Abstract
Satellite communication is seen as an attractive and viable solution to the problem of covering isolated areas over a wide region where the use of conventional terrestrial interconnection is prohibitive. The possible configurations and applications of domestic/regional satellite systems are reviewed, with attention given to the essential criteria in planning and design. In addition, a method is outlined for assessing the efficiency of a system. Aspects considered include telephony interconnection, data interconnection, video/audio interconnection, and video/audio distribution. The advantages of a dedicated satellite are compared with those of a leased satellite.
