Future of satellite systems in the fiber world
Abstract
Future applications of satellite systems are examined in relation to fiber optic systems. The current uses of satellites are discussed. The cost of satellite and fiber optic systems are estimated and compared. It is determined that satellite systems are most applicable for a thin route or when the broadcast of information from one to many sites is required; these applications include interactive data with a VSAT system, broadcast data and video, switched data, and emergency back-up systems.
