<Why not "ship to sat to gateway to sat to ship?" > Because one ship is in the Mediterranean and one is within 200 miles of the coast of Australia. The ship can't be more than 200 miles off the coast of Australia because Vodafone Australia, or QUALCOMM or Globalstar or the Australian bureaucrats can't figure out how to make it work in deep water. They can do it over the North Atlantic now but the Tasman is more challenging. One gateway can't reach all the way around the earth. Within one gateway's coverage area, yes, the signal could be retained within a single gateway. So two ships in the Caribbean could communicate via a single gateway with no PSTN link. They could usually use a single satellite too. The closer the ships are together, the more likely they'd use the same satellite all the time. Mqurice
