Abstract
A satellite communication system between a source and a destination over multiple satellite communications paths including first identifying the link performance established in multiple spectrums, performing a link comparison among the multiple spectrums (for example C-, Ku-, or Ka-Band) in order to determine a spectrum link that provides the highest throughput within an acceptable reliability criteria, and switching among the multiple spectrum links to provide that determined spectrum link between the source and the destination.
Claims16
A method for communication to a destination over multiple satellite links using different spectrums, respectively, comprising:
- using C-, Ku-, and Ka-Bands for data communication in a single antenna dish and single router, and measuring link performance parameters during the data communication, wherein data communication is permitted to the destination via a selected one of the Bands in accordance with a comparison between the measured link performance parameters and predetermined criteria.
A destination apparatus for receiving data over multiple satellite links using different spectrums, respectively, comprising:
- a single antenna dish and single router, a plurality of different bands for data communication over the different spectrums, and an intelligent modem for measuring link performance parameters during data communication, wherein the intelligent modem permits data communication via a selected one of the Bands in accordance with a comparison between the measured link performance parameters and predetermined criteria.
