Abstract

Gigabit Earth Stations (GESs) are under development for the ARPA-NASA Gigabit Satellite Network using NASA's Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS). The GESs will be equipped with SONET OC-3/3c (155.54 Mb/s) and SONET OC-12/12c (622.08 Mb/s) user interfaces. Through these interfaces SONET/ATM experimenters will be able to establish long-haul point-to-point and point-to-multipoint full-duplex OC-3/12 links via satellite. These links will have bit error rate performance comparable to fiber (BER >
