Wireless satellite communication system for aircraft using leo satellites
The patent US12034519B2 describes a wireless satellite communication system specifically designed for moving vehicles, such as aircraft. The system features at least one router that facilitates communication with terrestrial remote servers through a network of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. A key aspect of this system is the inclusion of multiple simultaneously usable directional satellite antennas, which allow for separate communication links with the LEO satellites. The router is capable of establishing connections via at least two distinct communication links, enabling aggregated data transmission to and from an aggregation server. This setup allows the communication to appear as a single link at the endpoints, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of data transfer.
Additionally, the system supports both aggregated and non-aggregated communication, allowing the router to connect with multiple servers, including stationary communication servers. The router is equipped with a controller that employs selection rules to determine the optimal communication method based on client device requests. The design includes provisions for optimizing communication traffic based on factors such as price, latency, and speed. The patent outlines various configurations, including the use of electronically steered patch array antennas and the ability to communicate with multiple LEO satellites simultaneously, further enhancing the system's capabilities for real-time data exchange in dynamic environments.
