ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented satellite network planning system that enables a user to plan a satellite communications network, using an industry-standard spreadsheet as a platform. The spreadsheet contains embedded equations used to produce a network design that describes components of a physical layer of the planned network (i.e. hub terminals, satellite, and remote terminals), and provides bandwidth allocations and traffic engineering features of the planned network. The spreadsheet includes a user-friendly interface that prompts the user to enter predetermined network parameters but does not display the embedded equations. The result is a user-friendly interface that is familiar enough for most LAN users, designers, and product managers to use and understand the results provided by the network planning system. The use of the industry-standard spreadsheet including the user-friendly interface reduces design time, allows non-technical managers to use the tool, and saves money for the user.
