Satellite Telecommunication Solutions

What is the difference between LEO, MEO, and GEO satellite networks?

LEO: 500–2,000 km – low latency, great for IoT/mobile.
MEO: 2,000–35,000 km – balance between coverage and latency.
GEO: 35,786 km – broad coverage, higher latency.

Which satellite solution should I choose for connectivity at sea or in remote areas?

For maritime: GEO services like Inmarsat or Iridium Certus.
For remote land areas: LEO constellations like Starlink or OneWeb.

Do I need authorization to acquire satellite communication devices?

Yes, in many countries a license is required. Regulations vary. Always check local laws.

How does satellite communication work in an emergency?
  • Send SOS messages
  • Call emergency services
  • Maintain communication during disasters

Radio Communication and IoT

What is the range of VHF and UHF radios?

VHF: 30–300 MHz – long range in open areas.
UHF: 300 MHz–3 GHz – better in urban settings.

How does an IoT asset tracking solution work?

IoT sensors transmit data via satellite, LPWAN, or GSM to track asset location and status in real time.

What are the advantages of satellite radios over traditional radios?
