AB - A major advantage of communication satellites over cable systems is their ability to cover and serve vast areas of the earth, thereby avoiding the extensive terrestrial networks that are required to feed the cable head-ends. An Intersatellite Link (ISL) would further increase both coverage and flexibility in locating the satellites. This paper examines the pros and cons of the ISLs in an operational environment. System advantages, system disadvantages and certain restrictions placed on satellites using ISLs are discussed.
