READING #1:  COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE

 

            Communication satellites are artificial satellites placed into orbits around the earth to facilitate communications on earth.  They are platforms that use radio receivers and their antennae to receive signals from the earth stations,  and amplify and pass the signals to a transmitter and an antennae,  with sufficient power to reach the earth.  Such a satellite also requires solar cells to supply power to the amplifiers (about 500 Watts in Intelsat IV),  fuel to periodically adjust the satellite's position to offset forces caused by the Sun and the Moon;  and altitude control equipment to keep the satellite antennae pointed properly at the earth,  using either the Sun,  the edge of the earth,  or a radio beacon on Earth as the reference point.   Telemetry encoders and transmitters measure voltages,  currents,  temperatures and other parameters,  describing the condition of the satellite and transmit this information to earth.

 

On earth,  the major earth stations that communicate with these satellites typically comprise antennae about 30 m. (100ft) in diameter,  a receiver that is cooled to 14 K in order to reduce its noise;  and a radio transmitter with a power output in the range of several hundred to several thousand watts to send signals to the satellite.  Smaller earth stations are also used,  but on a more restricted basis because of their greater demands on satellite capacity.

 

The global Intelsat system now carries the major portion of the world's long-distance international telecommunications traffic.

Canon iR2220i Descriptions

 

      Solutions For Every Need

The iR2220i combines scan, print, copy and communication functions in one device. This unique capability revolutionizes the distribution of emails, faxes and existing electronic files, enabling the organization to cut down on forwarding, filing and paper costs.

 

      Intelligent Distribution

Managing the vast variety and sheer quantity of electronic documentation your organization handles has never been easier. Documents can be scanned and sent to multiple destinations (email, fax, internet fax, file server, mailbox or regularly used folders) in a single operation. To save even  more time, you can download all your existing e-mail addresses up to 1,800 - directly into your iRi system. The Scanned Image Preview function enables you to check that a document has been scanned correctly before sending.

 

      LDAP Enhances Communication Capabilities

With MEAP, Intelligent Sending is even easier and more efficient, because  the iR2220i supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). This integrates the "send to email" function within your company address book, and enables more efficient management of accessible email addresses.  Multiple local address books no longer need to be manually updated.
