MULTIBAND MODEM FOR USE IN OPERATING A MULTIBAND TWO WAY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for communicating between an individual subscriber and a rf repeater in an interactive two way communication network. In one embodiment, a modem is used to enable transmit and receive communications between an individual subscriber unit and a rf repeater. The subscriber unit (10) is connected via a modem (26) and rf transmissions from satellites to a rf repeater station (52). Communications are sent from the subscriber unit (10) with connected modem (26) to the rf repeater station (52) via satellite rf transmission (40). The rf repeater station (52, 28) processes the communication to and responses from a variety of data base services (16). The rf repeater station (28) transmits the responses to the modem (26) via a rf transmission (44) from a satellite. The modem (26) then transmits the communication to the connected subscriber unit (10).
