On-board switching has been the development trend of satellite communication. There is electronic bottleneck in the development of on-board ATM switch, so the optical switch is the inevitable direction of future broadband multimedia satellite. The paper brings forward a scheme about on-board mixed optical/electronic switching of GEO, analyses the switching mode of the scheme, discusses the key techniques.
