Abstract
A satellite communication device is provided. The satellite communication device includes a determiner for determining availability of communication from a terminal to a WAN based on determination information acquirable from either one of communication via a LAN and the device itself without performing communication via the WAN, and for generating, when the communication from the terminal to the WAN is available, a communicable signal indicating the communication to the WAN being available. The satellite communication device also includes a notifier for receiving, from the terminal, a communication checking signal for requesting to check the availability of the communication to the WAN, and transmitting, when the communication from the terminal to the WAN is available, the communicable signal to the terminal.
