Mobile Satellite Communication

Mobile Satellite Communication refers to a system that utilizes satellites to provide telecommunication services to mobile users, enabling communication across various geographic locations without the need for a fixed infrastructure. This technology facilitates voice calls, data transmission, and internet access for users on the move, such as those in vehicles, ships, or remote locations. Mobile satellite communication systems typically involve a network of satellites in geostationary or low Earth orbit, which connect to ground stations and user equipment, such as satellite phones or terminals. The main advantage of mobile satellite communication is its ability to maintain connectivity in areas lacking terrestrial communication infrastructure, such as rural regions, disaster-stricken areas, or during travel over oceans and remote territories.
