High reliability satellite network delivery

A satellite communication system comprising:

• a first satellite having a first at least one antenna configured to communicate with at least one ground terminal over a first communication link in a first frequency band and a second communication link in a second frequency band;
• and
• a second satellite having a second at least one antenna configured to communicate with the at least one ground terminal over a third communication link in the first frequency band and a fourth communication link in the second frequency band,
• wherein the first communication link and the second communication link are for communicating the same information, and
• wherein the third communication link and the fourth communication link are for communicating the same information.

A method for communicating with a satellite communication system, comprising:

• a first transmitting step of transmitting a first frequency band signal between at least one satellite and at least one ground terminal;
• and
• a second transmitting step of transmitting a second frequency band signal between the at least one satellite and the at least one ground terminal simultaneously with the first transmitting step,
• wherein the first frequency band signal and the second frequency band signal contain the same information.

A machine-readable medium comprising instructions for communicating with a satellite communication system, the instructions comprising code for:

• a first transmitting step of transmitting a first frequency band signal between at least one satellite and at least one ground terminal;
• and
• a second transmitting step of transmitting a second frequency band signal between the at least one satellite and the at least one ground terminal simultaneously with the first transmitting step,
• wherein the first frequency band signal and the second frequency band signal contain the same information.

A processor for communicating with a satellite communication system, the processor being configured to:

• transmit a first frequency band signal between at least one satellite and at least one ground terminal;
• and
• transmit a second frequency band signal between the at least one satellite and the at least one ground terminal simultaneously with the first transmitting step,
• wherein the first frequency band signal and the second frequency band signal contain the same information.
