Abstract
A method of communicating via a satellite using a remote apparatus includes determining a geographical location of the remote apparatus, and determining a local data set corresponding to the geographical location. The data set includes communication parameters for a communication conducted by the remote apparatus from the geographical location. The method also includes retrieving the local data set from a global data set stored entirely in a memory of the remote apparatus, and conducting the communication via the satellite by the remote apparatus according to the communication parameters. The global data set includes local data sets corresponding to every geographical location in the world. A corresponding apparatus, a method and apparatus for generating a global data set, and a satellite communication system are also disclosed.
