1. A system for synchronising stations in a communications network comprising:

  • at least one airborne or space-based vehicle; and

    at least two stations, each station having receiver means in data communication with the at least one airborne or space-based vehicle and control means in data communication with the receiver means and in control communication with a communication means,where, when each receiver means receives a synchronisation signal from the at least one airborne or space-based vehicle;

    each receiver means forwards the synchronisation signal to its respective control means;

    each control means processes the synchronisation signal to determine the operational frequency required by its respective communication means to maintain or establish communication with the other station; and

    each control means controls its respective communication means to change to the determined operational frequency.
