Abstract

Global Information Infrastructure (GII) will cover the areas beyond that covered by the terrestrial mobile networks. Satellites have been playing more and more important role in GII.

This talk will explain the recent trend and development of modern satellite communications systems and networks, as well as their capabilities and applications including disaster relives and public protections. It will also explain the evolutions of the technologies and internetworking with satellite and terrestrial networks and Internet protocols.
