Scientific paper
A high-speed digital communications system is discussed in which a satellite is used to link a number of local area networks which interconnect a variety of computer facilities. The advantages of satellite communications compared with terrestrial links are described, together with a historical survey of the use of the Orbital Test Satellite (OTS) for data experiments. A description of Project Universe is given and the purpose of the project is described along with a more detailed description of the elements that make up the network such as satellite earth terminals, communication rings and terrestrial links. Future developments of such systems and their use as a means of business communication are considered, in particular, the factors affecting their growth, emphasis being placed on the specification and cost of equipment.
