Best Answer

The network of satellites operated and maintained by the USA is the Global

Positioning System (GPS).

There are other systems, comprised of other constellations of satellites, and

operated and maintained by other countries.

What is polling in satellite networks?

Polling in satellite networks is electronic signally between satellites to see which one is going to send data. It also requires a receiver that is polled to see if it is ready to transmit data.

Can two IP addresses share the same latitude and longitude location?

Different IP addresses can share the same latitude and longitude, but there are different situations.An IP address is a unique address to a network interface connected to a device such as a computer, laptop, tablet, cellphone, etc. For the simplest case, a single computer can have multiple network interfaces each mapped to a different IP address which are obviously at the same absolute latitude and longitude location. Also, a person can carry a laptop, cellphone, and other devices each with its own IP address.Next, look at the accuracy of the latitude and longitude coordinates. If the latitude and longitude coordinates are represented as a whole number or integers then the location includes many devices (i.e., IP addresses) over 100 km square area (i.e., size of a small country). Adding a single decimal place to the coordinate reduces the area to a 10 km square area (i.e., size of large city). Coordinates with 6 decimal degrees represent area with length of 0.1 meters or ~4 inches. Thus, adding decimal places to the coordinates makes the area smaller and further reduces the number of possible network devices at that location.With respect to a local area network (LAN), multiple devices can have the same local IP address but must be part of different networks. For example, a typical local address could be 192.168.1.100. So in this last situation, many devices scattered throughout the world could have the same local or private IP address but be from vastly different geolocations.


How many networks are there?

87. There are 39 religious networks, shopping networks, 10 News/Sports/Lifestyle networks, 15 general entertainment networks, 15 Spanish networks, 9 Public Television networks, and 5 major American networks.

Comparison between conventional cellular radio system and satellite based cellular radio system?

Satellite-based cellular systems In addition to the terrestrial systems, in recent years satellite-based telephone systems have been under construction. With such a system it is possible to make a connection with a cellular phone all around the world, especially in those regions currently not covered by a terrestrial system. In contrast with other satellite communication systems, satellite-based phone systems operate in the Low Earth Orbit (780 km high), and are therefore called LEO systems. The satellites work differently from those at a much higher orbit (36,000 km) in two major ways. First, the small distance between earth and satellite makes it possible to connect to the system with a handheld device. Second, signals can be moved overhead in between satellites without the use of base stations on the earth. In the near future, operators will supply services in which terrestrial and satellite communication are integrated. Like in the terrestrial systems, the satellites operate on certain frequencies, that have to be selected in such a way that interference is avoided. Not only frequencies are needed to communicate with handheld devices, but also to establish communication between satellites and ground stations, and between satellites mutually. cellular telecommunication networks One of the most recent applications of wireless communication is the establishment of fixed cellular telecommunication networks. In contrast to mobile cellular networks, in non-mobile or fixed systems both the transmitters and receivers are located at fixed points in the area. Fixed cellular networks provide a financially attractive alternative to the construction of conventional wired networks in developing countries, where no
