Reconfigurable satellite access points and satellite access sites

A reconfigurable satellite access point comprising:

• a transport-mounting structure;
• and
• at least one antenna integrated with the transport-mounting structure;
• wherein the transport-mounting structure allows the satellite access point to be easily reconfigured between a shipping configuration and a deployed configuration, the satellite access point in the shipping configuration having a form factor of a shipping container which allows the satellite access point to be shipped to a remote satellite access site on earth and the satellite access point in the deployed configuration revealing the at least one antenna to the sky at the satellite access site;
• wherein the transport-mounting structure comprises a receptacle sub-structure, the receptacle sub-structure including a base and at least one wall, the base for mounting the satellite access point on the ground at the satellite access site, the at least one wall and the base enclosing the at least one antenna during shipping, the at least one wall comprising an end wall and a side wall, the end wall and the side wall each separately pivotally movable relative to the base, or the end wall and the side wall each separately detachable from the base, or the end wall and the side wall each separately pivotally movable relative to and detachable from the base, to reveal the at least one antenna to the sky at the satellite access site.
