Most planes have VHF radios. Military planes have UHF radios, and some planes have satellite communications.
For example when you send a text message your message gos up to satellite and then bounces off towards the recipient.
The first communication satellite was Echo NASA
The satellite transponder typically works in either the C-band (4-8GHz) or the Ku-band (12-18GHz) and these are for the downlink (from the satellite to the earth station).
Communications Satellite
1.) Error Probality decreases 2.) C/N Ratio Increases 3.) gain of signal increasesThe official definition of an active satellite is "A satellite carrying a station intended to transmit or retransmit radio communication signals."
satellite communication
A propagation delay is the amount of time it takes radio waves to travel from the surface of the Earth to the satellite and then back down to the Earth. The calculation of the delay is based upon the altitude and position of the satellite systems.

Your best chance of communication is by a satellite enabled device .
Skype phones are not satellite phones. They are phones which connect to Wi-Fi and then run the Skype program to communicate with other phones. You can use them to call satellite phones, but they do not offer satellite phones.
Satellite phones are powerful portable phones which communicate directly with a satellite, eliminating the need for a cell tower. Satellite phones are extremely useful in areas that are desolate, like the desert or at sea where phone signals from towers will not reach.
According to multiple websites of information on satellite phone system, satellite phone systems were invented in the year of 1979. Satellite phone systems make it possible for people to use their cellphones and communicate to each other.
the look angles are the angles to which an earth station must be pointed to communicate with the geosynchronous satellite
If the company has to communicate with satellites up in space, then the engineer would be the one to help it happen. They are the ones who access the satellite and make sure that all of the information that is relayed is correct and what they are after.
Since the satellite appears fixed in the sky, antennas can also stay in a fixed position to communicate with it, and don't need to be continuously guided.
