Satellite Networks

Satellites are the height of modern communications technology. They provide global wide access to information by transmitting radio signals from orbit around the earth. Communication satellites are used in networks by retransmitting signals from a ground base to a large area of the earth. Unlike most terrestrial alternatives, satellite networks can be rolled out quickly and inexpensively to hundreds or thousands of locations, connecting cities or remote locations across a large landmass, where copper or fibre is cost prohibitive. Since satellite networks can be set up quickly, companies can be fast-to-market with new services.
