就像计算机和ＧＰＳ卫星一样，通信卫星的应用范围已越来越广，尤其是悄然兴起的宽带通信卫星技术，它与因特网技术、ＡＴＭ（异步传输模式）等相结合后，开辟了卫星通信的新时代，并将在空间信息高速公路的建设中扮演重要角色。一、应运而生 虽然地面宽带网络技术迅猛发展，但 Just like computers and GPS satellites, the scope of application of communications satellites has become more and more widespread, especially the quiet rise of broadband communications satellite technology, which, in combination with Internet technology and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), opens the door to satellite communications New era, and will play an important role in the construction of the space information highway. First, came into being Although the ground broadband network technology is booming, but
