Our mission: Connect everyone, everywhere to fast, affordable broadband by expanding communities’ access to all connectivity technologies, including new solutions like low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband.
WHAT IS A LEO SATELLITE?
Compared to other satellites, LEO satellites orbit Earth at lower altitudes. This allows LEO satellites to communicate with less delay and fewer interruptions and signal blockages, making them an ideal tool for extending high-speed broadband access around the world. LEO satellites are also easier, faster and cheaper to construct and launch.
Providers such as Starlink and OneWeb, and future providers like Amazon’s Project Kuiper and Telesat Lightspeed, are utilizing LEO technology to deliver broadband access to everyone, including previously underserved or unserved areas. By connecting rural communities and remote areas, LEO satellites can help bridge the digital divide and make 21st-century healthcare, educational and economic opportunities accessible for everyone, everywhere.
Because LEO systems are less dependent on terrestrial infrastructure, anyone on the planet with the right terminal – a small receiver about the size of a plate – and the ability to power it can connect to satellite broadband. And as the cost of production and deployment of this cutting-edge technology continues to scale, LEO satellites will be an increasingly affordable option for homes, schools and businesses of all industries – unlocking a cascade of socioeconomic growth and development. The positive impact will ripple beyond the newly connected regions, fostering broader economic inclusion, innovation and prosperity for entire communities and nations.
WHAT WE’RE FOR:
LEO satellites are a vital technology for meeting these goals.
Our strategic priorities include:
Educating policymakers and regulators on LEO satellites and their potential to help connect everyone, everywhere
