  • Patent number: 11652539
    Abstract: A satellite system uses cloud computing virtualized gateways, radio transport protocol and on-ground beamforming to improve wireless communication. A digitized ground based subsystem for use with the satellite system can be employed in transmitting an optical feeder uplink beam to a communications platform that includes a multiple element antenna array. The ground based subsystem is configured to receive the optical feeder uplink beam and, in dependence thereon, use the multiple element antenna feed array to produce and transmit a plurality of RF service downlink beams to a single or plurality of service terminals.
    Type: Grant
