Abstract

A high speed teleconferencing apparatus and method, the apparatus including an encoding unit that encodes and compresses a first digital signal to produce a first compressed encoded signal, a multiplexer unit that receives and splits the first compressed encoded signal into at least two split compressed encoded signals, at least two converter units that receive a respective one of the at least two split first compressed encoded signals and respectively producing at least two first synchronous signals, and at least two output units that receive a respective one of at least two first synchronous signals and output at least two first adapted synchronous signals to a data link. The at least two output units can be, for example, two CCIT units that output at least two high speed first synchronous signals to a high speed data link. The at least two output units can also be two microwave transmitting units that respectively modulate a first microwave signal with the at least two first synchronous signals and combine the modulated signals to output a first combined microwave signal to the data link. The system can transmit information such as an audio/video signal of broadcast quality or file information via satellite to/from any location.
