LEO constellation
termISP & telecomnetworking
A fleet of satellites in Low Earth Orbit - hundreds of kilometers up rather than geostationary's 35,786 km - trading one motionless satellite for thousands of moving ones: latency drops to tens of milliseconds, at the cost of constant handoffs, phased-array terminals, and fleet logistics. Starlink is the operating example at scale.
Satellite internet without the half-second physics tax.
