Despite the economic crisis
faced by Asia Pacific countries, their characteristics of potential market and
cheap labour always promise quite intense business relationships right now and
in the future. Since handheld
personal communication is already becoming inseparable from business people its
infrastructure must be established. The existing terrestrial system may not be
able to cope with the economic growth that may spread into rural regions.
However there are so many systems already deployed to serve it in the world but
after the crisis many countries there may have it in mind to build their own
system to be independent.
A number of possible
satellite constellations to provide the handheld voice communication service
throughout the entire specified Asia Pacific countries, particularly in working
hours, is presented, analysed and compared since extending the terrestrial
system to the entire region might not be efficient.
Advantages and drawbacks associated with each of the alternatives and
also the ratio of performance to the cost are used to judge the optimum system
to provide the service.
A more careful selection of
technology limited parameters to start analysis with is required to obtain the
optimum solution which is not obtained clearly by this thesis.
