Abstract

Boeing has recently demonstrated a mobile satellite ground terminal that will support satellite communications on-the-move as well as on-the-halt. The terminal (known as "mobile wideband testbed") is a mobile satellite communications ground terminal implemented on a high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle. The testbed is capable of simulating and testing a wide range of networks (e.g., ATM, IP) and protocols (e.g., TCP, mobile IP) over satellite links and wireless LANs. This paper describes testbed implementation details, operation and advanced features.
