Satellite communication has come a long way since its
experimental beginnings, evolving into a sophisticated
global network that plays a crucial role in modern
telecommunications. The journey of non-terrestrial
networks (NTNs) is marked by significant milestones,
particularly the transition from geostationary (GEO)
satellites to medium Earth orbit (MEO) and low Earth
orbit (LEO) constellations. This evolution not only
highlights the advancements in satellite technology but
also underscores the promise of LEO constellations in
providing mobile broadband services on a global scale.
This eBook examines the evolution of Non-Terrestrial
Networks (NTNs), compares GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite
architectures, and highlights how LEO constellations are
poised to redefine global mobile connectivity.
