Abstract
A satellite communication terminal for a field environment includes: a broadband interface that creates a broadband link with a device in the field environment and that manages communication over the broadband link; a satellite antenna that creates a satellite backhaul link with a satellite in orbit; a satellite interface that manages communication over the satellite backhaul link; and a processor that controls a beam direction of the satellite antenna, performs broadband services on data exchanged with the device over the broadband link and the satellite backhaul link, and provides access to the exchanged data to the device.
