Abstract
Systems for communicating data through a satellite are disclosed. The systems generally include a radio designed for terrestrial communications that is configured to uplink data to one or more satellites. The one or more satellites are configured to receive the data from the terrestrial radio. In addition, the systems include terrestrial receivers, such as one or more chirp spread spectrum radios, positioned at ground level, which are configured to receive the data from the one or more satellites.
Claims11
A system for communicating data through a satellite, which comprises:
- (a) at least one satellite, wherein the satellite is a non-geostationary satellite or a geostationary satellite;
- and
- (b) a terrestrial radio positioned at ground level, which is configured to receive data from the at least one satellite and transfer the data to local ground-level devices, wherein the data that is transmitted from the satellite, and the data that the terrestrial radio receives from the satellite, comprises:
- (i) media and internet protocol data that originate from one or more servers that are operably connected to, or in communication with, a transmitter which is compatible with terrestrial radios;
- and/or
- (ii) media and communications data related to a data link and network layers of an open systems interconnection (OSI) model of computer networking, wherein the terrestrial radio demodulates a chirp spread spectrum carrier and the at least one satellite is configured to transmit the data to a plurality of chirp spread spectrum radios positioned at ground level.
3 more elements
A method for communicating data through a satellite, which comprises:
- (a) transmitting data from a satellite, wherein the satellite is a non-geostationary satellite or a geostationary satellite;
- and
- (b) operating and configuring a terrestrial radio positioned at ground level to receive the data from the satellite and transfer the data to local ground-level devices, wherein the data is (i) media and internet protocol data that originate from one or more servers that are operably connected to, or in communication with, a transmitter which is compatible with terrestrial radios and/or (ii) media and communications data related to a data link and network layers of an open systems interconnection (OSI) model of computer networking, wherein the terrestrial radio demodulates a chirp spread spectrum carrier and said method further comprises operating and configuring the satellite to transmit the data to a plurality of chirp spread spectrum radios positioned at ground level.
