Key Points
• SATCOM provides the connection for remote
and underserved locations that terrestrial
networks cannot reach.
• The commercialization of space has provided
many new opportunities for companies
like Amazon and SpaceX to deploy huge
constellations of satellites.
• Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA),
previously limited to the defense market, let
SATCOM deliver high data rates economically.
