We use commercial aircraft as “mini-satellites”.Because it is a meshed network, it is like a web where all nodes are connected via multiple links.There are no single points of failure (there is nearly always another aircraft, ship or earth-station within range of an aircraft). This mesh will interface with numerous unique ground-stations. The system is managed by a sophisticated software management system.
