The INTELSAT system offers the capability for a network that could link area control centers (ACCs) and a host Inmarsat aeronautical ground earth station (GES). INTELSAT's Intelnet service can provide international data communication between a large INTELSAT station and microterminals at ACC locations. Concerning ocean air traffic management: the era of aeronautical satellite communications is opening with a rapid take-up by the corporate aviation community. The number of aircraft now equipped for voice service is growing steadily and greatly exceeds the number that have data capability. Satellites and ground earth stations to assist in the provision of improved ocean Air Traffic Control are in place and procedures for using the satellite network for delivering messages are well understood. Consideration should be given to supplementing terrestrial GES-ACC interconnect with a satellite broadcast mode type of signal for the dissemination of ADS reports to multiple ACC's.
