The patent filed by L3Harris Technologies Inc. describes a satellite communication system that includes a constellation of cross-linked orbiting satellites and an earth station gateway with an Internet port. Mobile wireless devices in the system have both satellite and WiFi transceivers, allowing communication with other devices in a push-to-talk (PTT) group via the satellite transceiver when a satellite link is available and via the WiFi transceiver when a WiFi link is available. The devices can seamlessly switch between the two links while maintaining existing PTT calls, based on signal degradation or user input.
Additionally, the system includes a PTT command center device to assign mobile wireless devices to specific PTT groups, and the satellite transceivers are capable of operating in manual mode for user-controlled switching. The constellation of satellites is arranged in polar orbital planes, with some devices designed as hand-held units and others as vehicle-mount units. The patent also covers a method for operating the mobile wireless devices within the satellite communication system, emphasizing the ability to maintain PTT calls while switching between satellite and WiFi links based on signal quality or user preference, with the option for manual control and assignment of PTT groups by a central command center.
