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 in GEO orbit provides broader coverage with fewer satellites but with higher latency. The decision between LEO and VSAT depends on your need for speed, latency, and global coverage.
