This book discusses current theory regarding global mobile satellite communications (GMSC) for
maritime land (road and rail) and aeronautical applications. It covers how these can enable
connections between moving objects such as ships road and rail vehicles and aircrafts on one
hand and on the other ground telecommunications subscribers through the medium of
communications satellites ground earth stations Terrestrial Telecommunication Networks (TTN)
Internet Service Providers (ISP) and other wireless and landline telecommunications providers.
This new edition covers new developments and initiatives that have resulted in land and
aeronautical applications and the introduction of new satellite constellations in
non-geostationary orbits and projects of new hybrid satellite constellations. The book presents
current GMSC trends mobile system concepts and network architecture using a simple mode of
style with understandable technical information characteristics graphics illustrations and
mathematics equations. The first edition of Global Mobile Satellite Communications (Springer
2005) was split into two books for the second edition-one on applications and one on theory.
This book presents global mobile satellite communications theory.
