Abstract
A radio-frequency (RF) redundancy method includes designating a plurality of RF gateways as initial primary RF gateways and designating an additional RF gateway as an initial backup RF gateway for the satellite communication system. A fault condition is detected in a first initial primary RF gateway, and a first switchover process is performed to switch the first initial primary RF gateway to a current backup RF gateway and to switch the initial backup RF gateway to a first current primary RF gateway. When a second initial primary RF gateway has the fault condition, a second switchover process is performed to switch the current backup RF gateway to a second current primary RF gateway and to switch the second initial primary RF gateway to the current backup RF gateway.
