Abstract: A system of buoys is connected by vertical cables to submarine fiber optic communications cable on the ocean floor or in cases where no submarine fiber optic cable is present, the buoys will use satellite communication. The buoys are aligned on the surface of the ocean, underneath heavily traveled oceanic air routes to provide platforms for radios. The satellite or cable connection to the buoys enables high bandwidth communications backhaul from the buoy to the internet or public switched telephone network. The high bandwidth buoys provide a platform to put different radio systems, enabling a substantially uninterrupted radio connection to high altitude aircraft as they transit oceanic airspace.
