It was probably the popular science fiction author, Arthur C. Clarke that first proposed the use of advanced satellite communication. Back in 1945 he published an article in "Wireless World" that suggested that manned satellites in earth orbit might be used to relay television signals to all corners of the globe. However no orbiting satellite was launched for over a decade and it took another 10 years or so before unmanned instruments capable of advanced satellite communication became operational with the launch of Telstar and Early Bird in the mid-sixties.
Today we are inclined to take advanced satellite communication for granted and it has become a part of our everyday lives without most people even being aware of it. Where once, the rooftops were festooned with aerials in all shapes and sizes to collect terrestrial transmissions of half a dozen TV channels, discreet satellite dishes now receive several hundreds channels from all over the world thanks to the miracle of advanced satellite communication.
Although the vast array of television channels enjoyed today is one of the more obvious benefits of advanced satellite communication, it is certainly not the most important. Communication satellites now carry volumes of high quality telephone traffic never previously possible and this type of advanced satellite communication has become especially important to those located in less hospitable areas of the planet where hostile terrain makes terrestrial based systems impractical.
In a world of 6 billion people, breaking news occurs around the clock and it is only since the introduction of advanced satellite communication technology that the media companies have been equipped to react almost instantly with live transmissions of significant events. Handy satellite uplinks have meant that even in remote locations events may be relayed worldwide in real time. Advanced satellite communication has revolutionised our access to information.
