Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites are positioned between LEO and GEO satellites. They offer a balance between speed, latency, and coverage. VSAT systems in GEO orbit often have higher latency but superior coverage, while MEO satellites offer lower latency than GEO systems but with less coverage. MEO satellites are ideal for some specialized applications but […]

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, such as those used by Starlink, are positioned much closer to Earth than traditional VSAT satellites in geostationary orbits. This results in lower latency and faster speeds for users, especially in real-time applications. However, LEOs have smaller footprints and may require more satellites to maintain global coverage. In contrast, VSAT […]
