Description
1st Edition
by Daniel Minoli (Author)
Surveys key advances in commercial satellite communications and
what might be the implications and/or opportunities for end-users and
service providers in utilizing the latest fast-evolving innovations in
this field This book explores the evolving technical
options and opportunities of satellite networks. Designed to be a
self-contained reference, the book includes background technical
material in an introductory chapter that will serve as a primer to
satellite communications. The text discusses advances in modulation
techniques, such as DBV-S2 extensions (DVS-S2X); spotbeam-based
geosynchronous and medium earth orbit High Throughput Satellite (HTS)
technologies and Internet applications; enhanced mobility services with
aeronautical and maritime applications; Machine to Machine (M2M)
satellite applications; emerging ultra HD technologies; and electric
propulsion. The author surveys the latest innovations and service
strategies and the resulting implications, which involves:
Discussing advances in modulation techniques and HTS spotbeam technologies Surveying emerging high speed aeronautical mobility services and maritime and other terrestrial mobility services Assessing M2M (machine-to-machine) applications, emerging Ultra HD video technologies and new space technology
Satellite
communication is an integral part of the larger fields of commercial,
television/media, government, and military communications, because of
its multicast/broadcast capabilities, mobility, reliability, and global
reach. High Throughput Satellites) are expected to revolutionize the
field during this decade, providing very high speed, yet cost-effective,
Internet access and connectivity anywhere in the world, in rural areas,
in the air, and at sea. M2M connectivity, enabled by satellite
communications, connects trucks on transcontinental trips, aircraft in
real-time-telemetry aggregation, and mercantile ships.Innovations in Satellite Communications Technology is
a reference for telecommunications and satellite providers and
end-users, technology investors, logistic professionals, and more.
