Abstract
A satellite communication system may include a constellation of cross-linked orbiting satellites and a network manager that maintains a database of push-to-talk (PTT) groups. A plurality of mobile wireless devices may each include a satellite transceiver and a WiFi transceiver. The mobile wireless device may each also include a controller configured to communicate with other members of a respective PTT group via the satellite transceiver when a satellite link is available, determine at least one ad hoc network link with an adjacent mobile wireless device using the WiFi transceiver, and communicate with the other members of the respective PTT group via the at least one ad hoc network link when the satellite link is not available.
