Satellite provided fixed communications services: A forecast of potential domestic demand through the year 2000: Volume 2: Main text

Potential satellite-provided fixed communications services, baseline forecasts, net long haul forecasts, cost analysis, net addressable forecasts, capacity requirements, and satellite system market development are considered

Satellite provided customer promises services, a forecast of potential domestic demand through the year 2000. Volume 4: Sensitivity analysis

The overall purpose was to forecast the potential United States domestic telecommunications demand for satellite provided customer promises voice, data and video services through the year 2000, so that this information on service demand would be available to aid in NASA program planning. To accomplish this overall purpose the following objectives were achieved: (1) development of a forecast of the total domestic telecommunications demand; (2) identification of that portion of the telecommunications demand suitable for transmission by satellite systems; (3) identification of that portion of the satellite market addressable by consumer promises service (CPS) systems; (4) identification of that portion of the satellite market addressable by Ka-band CPS system; and (5) postulation of a Ka-band CPS network on a nationwide and local level. The approach employed included the use of a variety of forecasting models, a parametric cost model, a market distribution model and a network optimization model. Forecasts were developed for: 1980, 1990, and 2000; voice, data and video services; terrestrial and satellite delivery modes; and C, Ku and Ka-bands

Planning assistance for the 30/20 GHz program, volume 3

The three basic experiment categories and consolidated experiments proposed by members of the Carrier Working Group are defined by category and by carrier. The three experiment categories are: (1) Possible Service (PS); (2) Possible Service and Technology (PSAT); and (3) Possible Technology (PT). Under Task 9 Western Union provided review, recommendations and critique of the NASA generated Statement of Work (SOW) defining the technical requirements governing design, launch and operation of the 30/20 GHz experimental systems
