System for proving global portable internet access using low earth orbit satellite and satellite direct radio broadcast system.

摘要

A system for providing global and portable Internet access (25) to low COM terminals (22) comprises an Internet service provider gateway (23) and a broadcast station (39) for providing multimedia information from the gateway (23) to the user terminals (22) via a direct radio broadcast geostationary satellite (20). User terminals (22) each comprise a direct radio broadcast receiver (21) and a transceiver for communicating with a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite (24).
