Satellite internet refers to the delivery of broadband connectivity to end users via satellites orbiting the Earth, eliminating the need for terrestrial infrastructure. It enables high-speed internet access in underserved, remote, or mobile environments where fiber or cellular networks are impractical. Modern satellite internet leverages LEO constellations for low-latency, high-throughput services alongside traditional GEO systems. It serves a diverse set of users, ranging from rural households and mobile transport operators to enterprises, governments, and defense agencies. Strategically, satellite internet plays a pivotal role in closing the global digital divide, enhancing connectivity resilience, and enabling next-generation services like in-flight wi-fi and telecom backhaul.
