We have studied specifications for satellite transponder to perform nationwide emergency medical network for ambulance over Japan. If it is possible to send in real-time a large volume of biological data (such as when a thrombolytic dose is administered to a patient suffering acute cardiac infarction being conveyed in an ambulance, based on his or her 12 leads electrocardiogram data and cardio-echogram with compressed motion picture, for early treatment for removal of a coronary occlusion) and color video images (such as light reflex images and video images of the airway) from an ambulance to a triage center to receive instructions from a doctor, more patients will be saved and medical expenditures for emergency medicine will ultimately be reduced. We investigate required specifications as follows; 1) Channels, 2) Bandwidth, 3) Frequency, 4)Footprints, 5) Technical limitations of the transponder others.
