Abstract
A satellite communication system may include a constellation of cross-linked orbiting satellites, and an earth station gateway that includes an Internet port. Mobile wireless devices each include a satellite transceiver and a WiFi transceiver configured to communicate with another WiFi transceiver, in turn, configured to communicate with the Internet port. The mobile wireless device may also include a controller configured to communicate with other members of a respective push-to-talk (PTT) group via the satellite transceiver when a satellite link is available, communicate with the other members of the respective push-to-talk (PTT) group via the WiFi transceiver when a WiFi link is available and the satellite link is not available, maintain a first existing PTT call when switching from the satellite link to the WiFi link, and maintain a second existing PTT call when switching from the WiFi link to the satellite link.
