A satellite system is configured to receive and allow direct forwarding of traffic on a time slot by time slot basis without demodulation or decoding. The satellite system may be configured to receive waveforms and configured to separate a waveform of data from a waveform of control information. The satellite system may be configured to switch the waveform of data toward one or more terminals and configured to switch the waveform of control information toward a satellite control unit without demodulation or decoding of the waveforms. A method for satellite communication is also provided.
