Abstract
Arrangements for optimizing bandwidth of a satellite communication link are presented. A first satellite gateway system may transmit a first data set to a satellite to be relayed by the satellite to a first instance of user equipment. A second satellite gateway system may transmit a second data set to the satellite to be relayed by the satellite to a second instance of user equipment. A satellite gateway management system may determine that the second satellite gateway system has greater available bandwidth. The satellite gateway management system may route a third data set to be transmitted to the first instance of user equipment to the second satellite gateway system. The second satellite gateway system may transmit the third data set and beam steering data to the satellite, such that the satellite targets a downlink spot beam on the first instance of user equipment.
