The changing face of C-band and Ku-band markets
Article Abstract:
Satellite communications, with its seemingly limitless range of applications in the market, has emerged as an important foundation of the present communications industry. Into the 21st century, satellite communications is expected to experience fluctuating trends in its provision of an ever-shifting range of options to consumers. Satellite communications, after facing enormous market demand and insufficient capacity during the middle and early 1990s, has been revived with the occurrence of consolidations, mergers and acquisitions in the market. Present satellite carriers, such as PanAmSat, GE American and Loral Skynet, have emerged as more globally-astute, more financially-viable and more focused companies compared to earlier satellite carriers.

Ka-band engineering from the ground up
Article Abstract:
The satellite communications industry is poised to use Ka-band frequency range for 1998 and beyond to augment the deployment of standard Ku-band, C-band and direct-broadcast payloads. The Ka-band would be deployed either in stand-alone Ka-band satellites or in consolidated payloads. Ka-band's key advantages over C-band and Ku-band include lessened interference with terrestrial systems and boosted available bandwidth, among others. The use of ka-band is being considered by principal system operators that include GE, Eutelsat, Intelsat, PanAmSat and SES, and by new worldwide systems, including Hughes' Spaceway, GE*Star, Astrolink of Lockheed Martin and Cyberstar of Loral.

Pushing for proper protocol
Article Abstract:
Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP, is the protocol of choice in satellite communications to offer uniform service to numerous firms that has worldwide operations. TCP is the universal language employed by electronic mail, the Internet, file transfers between computers and the World Wide Web. To improve operation of TCP over satellites, many techniques have been designed, including the utilization of the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) of NASA. ACTS has proven to be a superior vehicle to show how satellites can have interaction with terrestrial networks.
