Planetary or interplanetary communications does not require satellite's.For Interplanetary we use the DSN (Deep Space Network).For planetary we use fiber optics or  good ole copper wire.Magnetics for pseudo-gravity? It has so many issues; start with EMI, just drag your tablet (or any unshielded electronics) through a magnetic field with enough power to hold a person in place using those metallic shoes and watch it fry. It's more problem than it's worth.Powerful Lasers are nice, just not in atmosphere they tend to bloom!Still love the books, just having some suspension of disbelief issues.
