Satellite communication with modularized mobile earth stations (MESs)

A communication system includes a plurality of MESs arranged at different locations and operating as a unit to communicate with one or more satellites. One of the MESs is configured in a leader mode and each remaining MES of the MESs is configured in a follower mode based on a result of an auto-negotiation. In the leader mode, the one MES manages combining/dividing of satellite-related signals communicated between the one MES and each of the remaining MESs.
