New Opportunities for Satellites in Telecommunication Systems
Overview The role of satellites will change in the medium- and long-terms, opening up new roles and markets, including Broadband Internet access, first for business users, then for the general consumer, via transparent satellites, and in the longer term, with regenerative satellites; as an add-on to future UMTS networks, satellites will provide high capacities on the forward channel for multicasts (S-DMB system); collective satellite mobile systems will provide high bit rate communications on trains, aircraft and ships; and satellites will provide accurate handset location functions for use by location-based services. This paper describes these systems, highlighting their advantages and prospects for the Asia Pacific region.
