The author describes the Co-Operative Data Environment system which originally utilised the European Space Agency's experimental satellite Olympus, allowing interconnection of multiple local area networks in either star or mesh configuration based upon a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol application platform. She considers the network configuration, the satellite link budgets, operational aspects, and plans for offering interconnectivity to portable pico-terminals.
