1. A method comprising:
establishing a cellular data backhaul session using a first channel having a first characteristic different than a second characteristic of a second channel, wherein the first channel is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) channel;
determining a type of traffic involved in the data session;
determining, based on the first characteristic of the first channel and the second characteristic of the second channel and the type of traffic involved, whether the second channel should be used for the data session;
when the second channel should be used for the data session, then switching the data session from the first channel to the second channel; and
periodically monitoring the data session to determine whether the second channel should continue to be used for the data session,
wherein the data session comprises a first part and a second part, and using the first channel for the first part of the data session and using the second channel for the second part of the data session.
