Abstract:

In this paper we develop tactical and strategic models for assignments of customers to satellite channels. We solve this problem using mixed integer-linear programming, and study the managerial impacts of our models. As a managerial tool, the optimal placement of customer channels to minimize transponder re-balancing was found to have a real and observable profit potential in excess of $54 million for the GE Spacenet series geosynchronous orbit satellites. Further managerial findings and computational results are presented.
