Abstract
A satellite includes a first communication path for communicating with one or more gateways using a first frequency band while communicating with a set of the user terminals using a user frequency band and a second communication path for communicating with the one or more gateways using a second frequency band while communicating with at least a subset of the user terminals using the user frequency band. The second frequency band has a lower capacity than the first frequency band. Communication between the one or more gateways and the satellite can be switched between the first communication path and the second communication path for any of a number of reasons including as part of an incremental roll-out of services, in response to degradation in link quality or other reason.
