the wireless access node storing an access node identifier, storing ledger credentials, determining a geographic location of the wireless access node, scanning for a communication satellite, and wirelessly transferring a network integration request to a distributed ledger node over the communication satellite, wherein the network integration request indicates the access node identifier, the ledger credentials, and the geographic location;

the distributed ledger node receiving the network integration request from the wireless access node over the communication satellite and validating the ledger credentials, and in response, translating the access node identifier and the geographic location into an access node configuration and transferring the access node configuration to the wireless access node over the communication satellite; and

the wireless access node wirelessly receiving the access node configuration from the distributed ledger node over the communication satellite, and based on the access node configuration, wirelessly registering with a wireless communication network, wirelessly exchanging user data with the UEs, wirelessly exchanging the user data with the wireless communication network, and handing-over some of the UEs to a neighbor access node.
