Broadband wide-area networking via IP/ATM over SATCOM

摘要

A concept for broadband wide-area networking based on the use ofnthe Internet Protocol (IP) over asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)nbroadcast over extremely high-frequency (EHF) 30/20 GHz Ka-bandnsatellite communication (SATCOM) is presented. It is primarily intendednto support applications such as broadcast of data and video, fastnInternet access, and teleconsultation with interactive white board.nOperation from midsize terminals located at a corporate headquarters tonsmall highly transportable terminals at remote facilities is envisioned
