Which is the low earth orbit satellite that provides universal broadband internet access.
Global star is the low earth orbit satellite that provides universal broadband internet access.
SpaceX isn't alone in the internet's race into space. A satellite venture being developed by Arlington, Virginia-based OneWeb plans to offer broadband service from a network of satellites in low-Earth orbit, starting with access to remote parts of Alaska in 2019.
The satellites are placed in eight orbital planes of six satellites each, inclined at 52° to provide service on Earth from 70° North latitude to 70° South latitude. The Globalstar constellation consists of 48 LEO satellites, with an additional four satellites in orbit as spares.
Globalstar is a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation for satellite phone and low-speed data communications, somewhat similar to the Iridium satellite constellation and Orbcomm satellite systems. A Globalstar second-generation constellation will consist of 24 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites.
Satellite internet equipment is made up of three main components: a geostationary satellite in space, a satellite dish mounted on your home and a modem that transmits internet signals from the dish to your computer. You obtain satellite internet through a satellite broadband provider.
