1. A satellite radiotelephone system comprising:
- a space-based component that is configured to communicate with a plurality of radiotelephones over a plurality of frequency bands and/or a plurality of air interfaces;
an ancillary terrestrial network that is configured to communicate terrestrially with the plurality of radiotelephones over substantially the plurality of frequency bands and/or substantially the plurality of air interfaces; and
an aggregate radiated power controller that is configured to limit an aggregate radiated power by the plurality of radiotelephones to a maximum aggregate radiated power.

Abstract
A satellite radiotelephone system includes a space-based component that is configured to communicate with multiple radiotelephones over multiple frequency bands and/or multiple air interfaces. An ancillary terrestrial network is configured to communicate terrestrially with the multiple radiotelephones over substantially the multiple frequency bands and/or substantially the multiple air interfaces. An aggregate radiated power controller is configured to limit an aggregate radiated power by the multiple radiotelephones to a maximum aggregate radiated power.
