It means transmissions from a single GEO satellite can cover half the planet (with some gaps at the poles.) It also means you don’t need many of them: Inmarsat has fewer than 15 up at any one time.\n\nBut there’s a downside. Being further away from the action means they need more power – which means bigger dishes, more solar panels, all the things that make a satellite heavier and more expensive to launch. (A single GEO bird’s budget is in the hundreds of millions of US$.) It also results in high latency, with packets taking 240 milliseconds for a single ping. That’s long, as anyone into video games, or on a Zoom call, will confirm.\n\nMEO, myself, and I: staying closer to home\n\nCloser to home is MEO: “Medium Earth Orbit”. As you’d guess, it’s lower than GEO: most fly 8,000-25,000 kilometers above our heads.\n\nAt that altitude, MEOs still “see” around a third of the Earth’s surface, so you don’t need too many of them for 24/7 coverage. That makes them ideal for satnav: your car or phone gets a fix on its location from just three at a time, and about 30 in orbit do the job for both the USA’s GPS system and the EU’s Galileo.\n\nMEO’s also something of a sweet spot for the cost/benefit equation. While you need a few more of them than GEOs, each is much cheaper: smaller, simpler, and with a lower power draw. And, with a “ping” of 100 or so milliseconds, they halve the latency of GEOs.\n\nLetting LEO roar: the best choice for enterprise bandwidth\n\nFor LEO, “Low Earth Orbit”, their height above ground is never more than 2,000km, providing very competitive latency between 20-125 milliseconds. Power requirements and launch costs are minimal, too: most are smaller than a household appliance, with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 carrying over 20 into space per successful launch.\n\nLEOs are also zippier, circling our planet every 90 minutes or so. Of course, being so low means they can’t “see” as big a slice of Earth as MEOs or GEOs – but operators can afford far more of them. OneWeb has over 600 in orbit, Starlink over 9,000, with these high numbers also providing redundancy.\n\nWhile they sound like something from science fiction, these “constellations” rely on the same principle as terrestrial mobile. When you move around, your call gets handed off between nearby mobile masts and base stations with no interruption, thanks to “cells” of coverage and roaming technology bridging the gaps – and LEO satellite internet does the same thing. Unlike GEOs and most MEOs, LEOs are true networks in the sky, communicating and cooperating like a hive of bees.",{"uid":352,"typeHandle":343,"anchor":353},"ea235de0-3f3a-4047-829b-d7690f112702","uses",{"uid":355,"typeHandle":336,"wysiwyg":356},"c0e887d6-9c12-435f-b44a-62b4811fc4f6",{"html":357,"rawHtml":357,"markdown":358,"plainText":359},"\u003Ch2>Making LEO work: the use cases\u003C/h2>\u003Cp>\u003Ci>So are LEOs perfect for today’s connectivity needs?
