520 |a"In the 1980-81 fiscal year, Memorial University's Faculty of Medicine conducted a pilot project using the Department of Communications' Anik B satellite. In this phase I of the Department's programme, the University employed four 3 metre terminals and one 32 inch terminal to provide an interactive audio system. In the Summer of 1980, the System consisted of a 3 metre terminal in St. John's and the 32 inch terminal on the petroleum exploration vessel, PetroCanada's Neddrill 2. Full use of the System did not occur in the period July 1 to September 30 because of a variety of technical and logistical problems. However, successful test transmissions confirmed that satellites and their associated terminals have a potential role to play in providing communication services to offshore development. In the fall of 1980, the three other 3 metre terminals were installed in Labrador City, Goose Bay and Makkovik. They were installed to provide personnel in the health facilities in those places with access to programming in areas such as continuing education for health professionals, and committee meetings. Ground lines were provided in Labrador City and Goose Bay to academic facilities used by the University and people in those communities were able to participate in University credit courses. The programming made available to these communities by the Anik B satellite was developed for a terrestrial teleconference system that linked several other communities in the Island portion of Newfoundland. The project thus involved successful integration of satellite and terrestrial interactive audio facilities. Since the support from the Department of Supply and Services ended, the satellite terminals have continued to be used and the terrestrial teleconference system has been expanded. Negotiations are under way with the Department of Communications to decommission the satellite terminals over the late summer and fall now that their potential has been demonstrated. Planning is proceeding for a project to expand the use of Anik B in the offshore environment in late 1982"--Summary, pages [1]-2.
