Potential cost-effective applications of intersatellite links (ISLs) to domestic, regional, and global fixed satellite services are presented, addressing traffic forecast and service demands for the year 2001. To determine the cost advantages and other systems benefits of ISLs, selected satellite network architectures were derived for ISL and corresponding non-ISL systems. The cost analysis was performed using payload sizing based on state-of-the-art ISL technology, both optical and microwave.
