LEO satellite connectivity means the opportunities are out there, but how do we extract maximum value?
LEO (low earth orbit) connectivity is gaining momentum, propelled by reusable infrastructure solutions that have brought the launch cost of a satellite down to somewhere between one hundred thousand and a million dollars. The new layers of LEO connectivity promise a tantalizing array of public and enterprise services – but one big question looms large. How can we overcome the remaining challenges and seize maximum value from the sector?
