The method of transmitting information arranged in packets from one location to a second location via a wireless/satellite network, comprising:(a) examining each packet to determine whether its size is equal to a minimum; (b) if a minimum size, generating a first SAR header and applying said header to said packet to form a SAR segment; (c) if greater than a minimum size, dividing said packet into a plurality of segments having a uniform size, generating a second SAR header that is unique for each segment and applying said header to a respective one of said segments to form SAR segments: (d) forwarding said SAR segments to one or more modems for transmission to at least one terminal at said second location, (e) sorting said SAR segments by at least one of carrier id, burst position in frame and channel in burst; (f) sending said SAR segments to a predetermined modem; (g) determining whether a source and destination ID for segments and bursts are identical: and (h) on the basis of the identity of a unit, site and control group, generating burst and identity information for transmission to said second site.
