Satellite Network

A satellite network is a communication system that utilizes satellites in orbit around the Earth to transmit and receive data across various distances. This network typically consists of a constellation of satellites, ground stations, and user terminals. The satellites relay signals between ground-based stations and users, allowing for various applications such as internet access, television broadcasting, and global positioning services (GPS). Satellite networks can provide coverage in remote or underserved areas where traditional wired infrastructure is impractical. They enable long-range communications, supporting both fixed and mobile users. The technology is essential for global connectivity, particularly in scenarios where terrestrial networks may fail or be unavailable.
