Handbook on satellite communications (HSC)

Satellite communications now form an integral part of our new "wired" world. Since their introduction in about 1965, satellite communications have generated a multiplicity of new telecommunication or broadcasting services on a global or regional basis. In particular, they have enabled a global, automatically-switched telephony network to be created. Although, since 1956 (TAT1), submarine cables began to operationally connect the continents of the world with readily available telephony circuits, only satellite communications have enabled completely reliable
communication links for telephony, television and data transmission, to be provided over all types of terrestrial obstacles, whatever the distance or remoteness of the locations that have to be connected.
