  • Abstract
    The possible role of satellites in broad-band interactive communications networks is described primarily in terms of a long distance transmission facility interconnecting several such networks over a wide geographical area. Discussion of the interface between the cable and satellite facilities is presented as well as a review of current broad-band operational and experimental uses of satellites which might be applicable to future system design.
