Synopsis

During 1981 and 1984, a consortium of industrial, university and government laboratories undertook an experiment called Project UNIVERSE to examine the possibility of combining broadcast packet satellite and local area networking technologies to form a wide area network, with properties akin to a local network, which might form the basis of an integrated communications system. The architecture and implementation of the network was tested by a number of experimental applications of distributed systems, packet voice, slow-scan video, security, teletex and videotex, as well as conventional computer-to-computer communication. This book describes the design, construction and testing of the network, including an outline of the project organization.
