Abstract
The present paper is intended to discuss the satellite features which could lead to beneficial integration with IMT-Adv. The satellite roles are consistent with: (1) Navigation for Location Based Services (2) Earth observation for GIS-related applications/solutions and (3) Telecommunication. The development of the market is also boosted by the emerging synergies between navigation, communication and information technology in what is called “info-mobility”. The area of discussion is therefore quite wide and we can offer a survey trying to analyse only the aspect which are pertinent with the title of the paper. We therefore apologise if the reader cannot find all information he could be interested in, but we hope to have been capable to close just a bit of the enlarging gap between terrestrial and satellite interests.
