1. A data receiver comprising:
- a satellite communication interface configured to receive data from a data source via at least one satellite;
a network interface configured to communicatively couple with external networked devices via a network; and
a communication controller coupled with the satellite communication interface and the network interface, and configured to;
obtain a satellite-based channel definition via the network interface based on characteristics of a data set at the data source;
configure the satellite communication interface to establish a satellite channel with the at least one satellite according to the satellite-based channel definition;
receive at least a portion of the data set through the satellite channel; and
store the portion of the data set on a computer readable medium.

Abstract
A data delivery system leverages existing satellite infrastructure to deliver massive data sets (e.g., genomic data) to last-mile, remote or rural, locations. The system repurposes existing high-capacity satellite links normally used to broadcast entertainment content by creating customized channels specifically adapted to delivering large data sets to be stored upon computer systems.
