Fred,
The bandwidth of the Ka-Band transponders is not equal to any fixed value.
It really depends on the system you have, and different systems have
different BW's per transponder (or beam), at least conceptually at this
point, as there is no full Ka-Band system at this point except the retiring
NASA ACT system.
My suggestion to you is to look at the problem parameterically, and see what
will be the QoS #'s to get with using a range of BW's. Now, which platform
you use to deliver this becomes secondary. But your idea of using GEO's for
this is good, as to use the broadcast nature of the satellites.
