Selective call forwarding on dropout

摘要

A telecommunications network such as a satellite network, includes call forwarding equipment (MSSC 1, VLRSAT 1) for automatically forwarding a call made over a telecommunications link (3) through the network between first and second telecommunications stations (1, UT 1), in the event that the link drops out during the call, to a selectible alternative termination (5, 6 or UT 1 via PLMN 12). The alternative termination is selected prior to the dropout.
