Abstract
This paper presents solution to developing trends in next
generation satellite communication technologies which have
significant implication on maritime and mobile
communication systems based on specific need and
significant broadband connectivity, quality delivery of service
and interactivity in Ghana.
Due to the narrow bandwidth of terrestrial access links and the
enormous costs for increasing bandwidth in remote location
and enabling IP-multicast streaming for access, a satellite
overlay network using Digital Video Broadcasting Return
channel service (DVB-RCS) technology will be examined
and the infrastructure required for communication, navigation
and surveillance selected for implementation. The satellite
network will delivers live streaming of voice, data and video
over IP contents simultaneously to numerous users in every
remote location. An overview of the technical aspect will be
implemented in order to establish quality infrastructures,
allowing the services of DVB-RCS distributed via satellite.
The paper also outlines DVB-RCS benefits which will be
achieved in practice, based on requirements from
implementing these applications in urban, rural and mobile
environments including maritime solutions.
