Bridging the Broadband Gap
Satellite technology plays a critical role in bridging the global broadband gap by connecting underserved and previously unconnected populations. While approximately 62% of the world’s nearly 8 billion people use the internet, billions still lack reliable access, particularly in remote, rural, and infrastructure-limited regions. With near-global coverage and relatively low deployment costs compared to terrestrial networks, satellite communications provide an effective solution for expanding connectivity where traditional broadband infrastructure is unavailable or impractical. Advancements in satellite technology, including new orbital architectures and innovative service delivery models, are improving performance, affordability, and accessibility. By extending internet access to hard-to-re
