For this episode, what you'll learn:
- LEO vs. GEO vs. MEO vs. RIO: What each orbit does best, and why no single orbit fits all use cases.
- Satellite Applications in Public Safety: Emergency response, disaster recovery, rural healthcare, utilities, and beyond.
- Multi-Orbit Architecture: How merging GEO and LEO networks (like Eutelsat-OneWeb) offers hybrid resiliency, bandwidth, and latency benefits.
- In-Building & Remote Connectivity Challenges: Why satellite tech isn’t for skyscrapers—but excels where towers don’t reach.
- Cybersecurity & Satellite Resilience: How satellites defend against interference, spoofing, and geopolitical tensions.
- Future of Direct-to-Device & Beamforming: The race to make satellites more like your local LTE tower—but in the sky.
- LEO = low latency; GEO = capacity workhorse; MEO = GPS backbone; RIO = future of direct-to-device.
- Satellite is no longer just a backup—it's a dynamic part of modern hybrid networks.
- With beamforming, 5G, and evolving interoperability, satellites are becoming smarter, faster, and more agile.
