Claim 0:
1. A system for network agnostic satellite communications, comprising:
an antenna configured to receive at least one antenna receive beam from at least two satellites, the at least one antenna receive beam including 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;
a signal processor configured to receive the multiple receive carriers and to extract data from at least one receive carrier of the multiple receive carriers;
an input device configured to receive at least one desirable communication parameter; and
a control processor configured to:
determine actual parameters corresponding to the multiple receive carriers of the at least one antenna receive beam through local calculations and measurements,
select an optimal receive carrier by comparing the at least one desirable communication parameter to the actual parameters, and
establish a current communication link with the optimal receive carrier.
