OVERVIEW • Satellite Technology • GMPCS Definition • Why GMPCS? • GMPCS Operator • Introducing ACeS
sun earth moon What is a satellite ? Satellite is any object that orbits or revolves around another object (For example : the moon is a satellite of earth,and earth is a satellite of a sun)
Satellite Technology What is communications satellites? • satellite as relay station in space • send and receive messages from anywhere on earth • messages can be telephone calls, TV pictures, fax, Internet connections • have a wide coverage

non-GSO (LEO, MEO) 500 - 12000 km GSO 36000 km Satellite Orbits • Geostationary Orbit (GEO) 36000 km • Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) 5000 - 12.000 km • Low Earth Orbit (LEO) 500 - 1500 km
What is GMPCS ? • Defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as, 'any satellite system (i.e., fixed (FSS) or mobile (MSS), global or regional, geo-stationary or non-geo-stationary, existing or planned) providing telecommunications services directly to the end-users from a constellation of satellites
WHY GMPCS ? • GMPCS networks will provide a unique technical solution to the limitations associated with terrestrial networks, offering messaging, voice, and data communications accessibility to anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
World Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF) (Geneva, 21 - 23 October 1996) 5 Opinions • 1 The role of GMPCS • 2 The shared vision and principles for GMPCS • 3 Essential Studies by ITU • 4 GMPCS MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) • 5 Implementation of GMPCS in Developing Countries
