Claim 19:
20. A method for network agnostic satellite communications, comprising:
receiving, by an antenna, at least one antenna receive beam from at least two satellites, the at least one antenna receive beam having multiple receive carriers multiplexed in at least one of frequency or time, with the at least two satellites representing at least two separate satellite networks;
extracting, by a signal processor, data from at least one receive carrier of the multiple receive carriers;
receiving, by an input device, at least one desirable communication parameter;
determining, by a control processor, actual parameters corresponding to the multiple receive carriers of the at least one antenna receive beam through local calculations or measurements;
selecting, by the control processor, an optimal receive carrier by comparing the at least one desirable communication parameter to the actual parameters; and
establishing, by the control processor, a current communication link with the optimal receive carrier.
