The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we live and work. It has enabled us to connect our devices and appliances to the internet, making them smarter and more efficient. However, for IoT to truly reach its potential, it needs to be connected globally. This is where low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites come in.
LEO satellites are positioned at an altitude of 2,000 km or less above the Earth’s surface. They orbit the Earth at a much faster speed than geostationary satellites, completing one orbit in just 90 minutes. This means that they can provide global coverage and low latency, making them ideal for IoT connectivity.
