EDITED at 0100: According to the description, the possibly multiple gateways described are used before the receiving phone is located. They are gone through while the call is being connected. Once connected, I doubt that a call is handed off between gateways at the receiving end, because the incoming line to the gateway for the receiving phone is in all cases the PSTN, which I doubt can be manipulated in that fashion. And there is the same problem at the calling end, where the outgoing line from the gateway is in all cases the PSTN, which, again, I doubt can be switched fast enough to follow the posited real-time handoff between gateways. So, they have probably designed the coverages so that a phone will never be able to see a sat that the gateway it originally registered at cannot also see. In the area of boundaries between gateways, that would mean overlap, such that a sat that may be able to see more than one gateway at once, but the gateway at which the phone is registered would retain control of the call. BWDIK? Someone does know this though, right?????
