Discusses step-by-step methods to develop a satellite backbone to interconnect ground nodes clustered within a few SD-WANs in a wide area network around the world.
This book presents a solution to the current limitations in global connectivity by introducing a global laser/optical communication system using constellation satellites, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) and Balloons. The author outlines how this will help to satisfy the tremendous increasing demand for data exchange and information between end-users worldwide, including in remote locations. The book provides both fundamentals and the advanced technology development in establishing worldwide communication and global connectivity using (I) All-Optical technology and (ii) Laser/Optical Communication Constellation Satellites (of different types, sizes and at different orbits), UAVs, HAPs (High Altitude Platforms) and Balloons.

The book discusses step-by-step methods to develop a satellite backbone in order to interconnect a number of ground nodes clustered within a few Software-Defined Networking (SD-WAN) in a wide area network (WAN) around the world in order to provide a fully-meshed communication network. This book pertains to anyone in optical communications, telecommunications, and system engineers, as well as technical managers in the aerospace industry and the graduate students, and researchers in academia and research.
