Abstract: A terminal for communicating with a communication satellite A terminal comprising: a first transceiver for communicating with at least one device in a short range network; a second transceiver for communicating with a geostationary communication satellite in a network deploying a plurality of forward channels for the communication satellite to transmit data to said terminal and a plurality of return channels for the terminal to transmit data to said communication satellite, the second transceiver being configured to transmit data from said at least one device in one of said plurality of return channels. The at least one device may comprise a plurality of utility meters and other sensors. A large system comprising a plurality of the terminals, a communication satellite and a data authority may provide a system for collecting utility meter readings across a geographical region.
