The latest developments and experimentation in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology show that ATM will be a candidate transport mechanism in many private and public multimedia networks. Furthermore, the interest in satellite ATM systems has grown considerably because they can rapidly and economically extend the boundaries of any terrestrial network. Currently, there is a huge increase in the demand for satellite communications operating at the Ka-frequency bands; several different systems have been proposed and are under development worldwide. Two main scenarios for satellite access network protocols are presented in this article. The first one uses ATM cell encapsulation and satellite-specific protocols for establishing and managing a connection, whereas the second one provides a highly integrated solution with the ATM protocol stack and defines a new satellite ATM (S-ATM) protocol layer
