What are all these satellite buzzwords, and what do they even mean for you? Satellite-based communications have always been shrouded in mystery, assumptions and the perception that it's not mainstream for anyone in wireless.

The reality today is that satellite-based networks have evolved into some of the most advanced mainstream connectivity options on the planet. LMR, PTT, Broadband and 5G Backhaul can now be provided anywhere with a minimal environmental footprint at an economical deployment and operating cost.

Satellite constellations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Middle Earth Orbit (MEO) and traditional Geosynchronous Orbits (GEO) each play a daily role in connecting our planet.

Join our panel of experts who will explain the differences, relevance and benefits of these unique wireless infrastructures and how they practically apply to common operations across the spectrum.
