Radiodetermination satellite service: A new path for global cooperation

T. Stephen Cheston

Telecommunications Policy, 1987, vol. 11, issue 2, 135-139

Abstract: Worldwide communication via satellite is now available to mobile users who were previously largely excluded from the benefits of satellite technology. The Senior Vice President of the Geostar Corporation describes the characteristics and advantages of their Radiodetermination Satellite Service (RDSS), based on new satellite system design and spread spectrum technology. RDSS has low-cost, handheld equipment and is particularly useful for fleet control and maritime and aviation safety. The future success of RDSS development will depend on decisions taken by international regulatory agencies, particularly at Mobile WARC in 1987.
