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.
Claims7
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) (i) a terrestrial radio positioned at ground level, which is configured to receive data from the at least one satellite using terrestrial communication protocols selected from the group consisting of 802.15, 802.11, LTE, BLE 5.2, LE Audio, and ATSC 3.0 terrestrial communication protocols;
- or (ii) a terrestrial device positioned at ground level that utilizes cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) and is configured to receive data from the at least one satellite, wherein:
- (y) the terrestrial radio or terrestrial device is further configured to transfer the data to local ground-level devices;
- and/or
- (z) the data comprises 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 media and communications data related to a data link and network layers of an open systems interconnection (OSI) model of computer networking.

- and
- (c) uplinking data to the satellite, and downlinking data from the satellite, to cache, stream, and relay media and internet protocol data within local ground-level devices.
