In particular, if the satellite is regenerating, RTD involves a single hop from the Earth to the satellite and back to the Earth; whereas, if the satellite is bent-pipe, RTD typically involves a double hop (from Earth to satellite to Earth and back) since layer 2 control functions are in the Earth station In case of GEO regenerating satellites, RTD varies in the range 239-280 ms In particular, RTD is... such as desktop videoconferencing, interactive distance learning and Internet services Uplink: FDMA/ TDMA Downlink: TDMA Uplink: 27.5-30 GHz Downlink: 17.7-20.2 GHz Ka band Thuraya 2 GEO Voice telephony, fax, data, short messaging, location determination, emergency services, high power alerting FDMA Uplink: 1626.5-1660.5 MHz Downlink: 1525-1559 MHz L/C bands Eutelsat GEO satellites (operator) (e.g.,... regenerating transponder Single digital TV programme broadcasting, digital radio broadcasting, interactive multimedia services and Internet connectivity Uplink: DVB-RCS (TDMA) Downlink: DVB-S Uplink: 13.75, 1414.50, 29.50-30 GHz Downlink: 10.70, 10.8612.75, 19.70-20.20 GHz Ku and Ka band Wildblue GEO (Anik F2) High-speed broadband Internet access, satellite television, distance learning and telemedicine...
