Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting and receiving signals over a two-way satellite communication system is disclosed. A receiving unit receives data from a user terminal. A transmitting unit is coupled to the receiving unit and transmits the data to an antenna. The data is transmitted over a return channel that is established over the satellite to a hub; the hub has connectivity to a packet switched network.
Claims23
An apparatus for transmitting and receiving signals over a two-way satellite communication system, comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive data from a user terminal;
- and
- a transmitting unit coupled to the receiving unit and configured to transmit the data to an antenna,
- wherein the data is transmitted over a return channel that is established over a satellite to a hub, the hub having connectivity to a packet switched network.
A system for exchanging signals over a two-way satellite network, comprising:
- an indoor receiving unit (IRU) configured to receive data from a user terminal;
- an indoor transmitting unit (ITU) selectively coupled to the receiving unit and configured to transmit the data;
- and
- an outdoor unit (ODU) coupled to the IRU and ITU and configured to receive the data for transmission over a return channel that is established over a satellite to a hub, the hub having connectivity to a packet switched network.
An receiver apparatus for receiving signals over a two-way satellite communication system, comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive data from a user terminal;
- and
- a power supply configured to provide power to the receiving unit,
- wherein the receiving unit is selectively connected to a transmitting unit that is configured to transmit the data over a return channel that is established over a satellite to a hub.
