ABSTRACT:
An integrated telecommunications system provides fixed and mobile satellite-based services via one or more geosynchronous satellites. Two-way user links are provided by the satellites to user terminals located throughout a geographical region. Additionally, the satellites provide two-way access links to gateway stations within the region, and also to a satellite network control center. The network control center controls bandwidth and power of the satellites to establish the user links and the access links. A mobile cellular telephone network provides mobile cellular telephone service to a subscriber that also has a user terminal. A gateway station includes a gateway station controller coupled to a mobile switching center, which, in turn, is coupled to a terrestrial network. The gateway station controller provides control signals route calls to either the user terminal or the mobile cellular telephone of the subscriber based on a single dialed number.
