<p>A broadcast facsimile interface unit (FIU) (4) and broadcast receiving facsimile interface units (FIU) (16a, 16b, 16c) enable facsimile data to be broadcast from a transmitting facsimile terminal (2) via a satellite (10) to more than one receiving facsimile terminals (18a, 18b, 18c) simultaneously. The broadcast FIU (4) simulates a facsimile terminal connected to the transmitting facsimile terminal (2) and sends broadcast signals (8) through a land earth station (6), and the broadcast receiving FIU's (16a, 16b, 16c) receive the broadcast signals (12) and simulate facsimile terminals connected to their respective receiving facsimile terminals (18a, 18b, 18c) according to protocols which enable the receiving terminals to receive the facsimile data successfully. <IMAGE></p> |
