The present invention relates to a telecommunication network for establishing radiofrequency links between gateways and ground terminals via a telecommunication satellite with several spot beams, known as a multispot satellite. The network includes a multispot satellite including a payload for the reception, processing and retransmitting of telecommunication signals received by said satellite, a service area comprised of a plurality of basic coverage areas, known as cells, each cell including a plurality of ground terminals and a plurality NGWactive of active gateways interconnected by a ground network, NGWactive being an integer, said satellite relaying signals sent by said NGWactive active gateways to said cells. Furthermore, the network includes NGW gateways, NGW being an integer strictly greater than the number NGWactive of active gateways, said NGW gateways being interconnected by said ground network and including said NGWactive active gateways such that NGW−NGWactive gateways are not active.
