Patent ID: 7660579

Claim:
An accelerated ground-to-air and air-to-ground communication system comprising: at least one mobile aircraft-based communication systems adapted to transmit and receive accelerated data signals, the mobile aircraft-based communication systems comprising a data communication accelerator device adapted to accelerate and decelerate data signals received by the mobile aircraft-based communication system; a ground-based communication system adapted to transmit and receive accelerated data signals comprising: a data communication router device adapted to router accelerated and non- accelerated signals, and a multi-user data communication accelerator device communicatively coupled to the data communication router device and to a data network and adapted to accelerate and decelerate data signals from the data network and the data communication router device; and a satellite communication system communicatively coupled to the mobile air communication systems and to the ground-based communication system and adapted to transmit accelerated data signals between the mobile air communication systems and the ground-based communication systems.
