  • Low-Cost Wireless Internet System for Rural India Using Geosynchronous Satellite in an Inclined Orbit
    Low-cost Wireless Internet System for Rural India using Geosynchronous Satellite in an Inclined Orbit Karan Desai Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Electrical Engineering Timothy Pratt, Chair Jeffrey H. Reed J. Michael Ruohoniemi April 28, 2011 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Internet, Low-cost, Rural Communication, Wireless, Geostationary Satellite, Inclined Orbit Copyright 2011, Karan Desai Low-cost Wireless Internet System for Rural India using Geosynchronous Satellite in an Inclined Orbit Karan Desai ABSTRACT Providing affordable Internet access to rural populations in large developing countries to aid economic and social progress, using various non-conventional techniques has been a topic of active research recently. The main obstacle in providing fiber-optic based terrestrial Internet links to remote villages is the cost involved in laying the cable network and disproportionately low rate of return on investment due to low density of paid users. The conventional alternative to this is providing Internet access using geostationary satellite links, which can prove commercially infeasible in predominantly cost-driven rural markets in developing economies like India or China due to high access cost per user. A low-cost derivative of the conventional satellite-based Internet access system can be developed by utilizing an aging geostationary satellite nearing the end of its active life, allowing it to enter an inclined geosynchronous orbit by limiting station keeping to only east-west maneuvers to save fuel. Eliminating the need for individual satellite receiver modules by using one centrally located earth station per village and providing last mile connectivity using Wi-Fi can further reduce the access cost per user.

  • Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Request1
    Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Request — Page 1 AMATEUR SATELLITE FREQUENCY COORDINATION REQUEST1 1. Amateur-satellite service. Amateur stations meet the requirements of the radio regulations2, RR 1.56. and 1.57. RR 1.56 amateur service: A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self- training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that is, by duly authorized [licensed] persons [individual natural people] interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim [for themselves] and without pecuniary interest [compensation]. (NOTE: Explanatory terms in brackets are not part of the treaty text.) RR 1.57 amateur-satellite service: A radiocommunication service using space stations on earth satellites for the same purposes as those of the amateur service. Before asking for help from IARU with frequency coordination in the amateur-satellite service, make sure that your proposed operation meets the treaty requirements. NOTE: “Without pecuniary interest” means that you may accept free will donations of goods and services, that is, with nothing required in return. You may not sell services or data to anyone for any reason. Ultimately, the decision of whether the proposed operation is appropriate for the amateur- satellite service rests with your country’s administration (your national telecommunication regulator). Therefore, before sending your frequency coordination request to IARU, we suggest that you consult with your administration to determine whether the amateur-satellite service or another radiocommunication service is appropriate for your operation. 2. Self coordination. For over 100 years, amateur radio operators have maintained an effective tradition of self-regulation. Amateurs are expected to coordinate their use of frequencies.

  • Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-Throughput Satellites
    WHITE PAPER Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-throughput Satellites 1 Wide-beam connectivity is an essential aspect of military satellite communications and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) technology is proving to be ideally suited for many Government applications. While most satellite operators offer closed HTS architectures that are vendor-locked with very little control offered to users, the Intelsat Epic Next Generation (Epic) HTS architecture is enterprise- grade, open architecture and vendor-agnostic. Intelsat Epic allows Government and military access to bandwidth-efficient, higher data throughputs on a global-scale via a wide variety of user-chosen waveforms, modems and antennas. Intelsat is proud to present the next generation of satellite communications that features higher data throughput rates and security while offering cost-efficiencies across the board. Introduction High Throughput Satellites (HTS) have been the center of solutions. Interoperability between the various military attention for the past five years. It is important to note that branches, allied, and coalition forces continues to be a most of these systems have been purpose-built solutions to challenge. Finally, most military and government users require service homogeneous sets of users via closed architectures. operational coverage in remote and austere regions such Systems such as ViaSat Exede, Inmarsat Global Express, Hughes as deserts, jungles, and oceans—well outside of population Jupiter, and Eutelsat KA-SAT require new investments in centers for which these closed architectures are optimized. proprietary modem technologies and service architectures. These closed systems offer star-only connectivity and keep With the disconnects between these closed HTS solutions and quality of service control with the service provider, not the end the challenges faced by the Government, it is no wonder that users.

  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history
