The
objective of ACTS was to prove that a Ka Band system
with onboard switching could reliably provide digital
integrated services for all types of applications
and data rates, and operate seamlessly with terrestrial
networks.
The
ACTS Experiment Program was established to work
with industry, academia and government to carry
out the demonstrations and communications experiments
needed to verify the ACTS objective. Many people
were involved in this program and a large number
of papers were published to document the results.
The
papers selected for this issue highlight significant
experiments showing that switched Ka Band systems
provide reliable service with effective rain fade
compensation, that TCP/IP protocol is suitable for
geo satellites, that satellites are ideally suited
for broadband service to mobile and remote environments
as well as for terrestrial applications.
These
papers are available in portable document format
(PDF). Obtain a free copy of AdobeAcrobat
