Description
Telesat specializes in communications equipment for large-scale customers. Their constellation of 188 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites offer low latency bandwidth options compatible with electronically or manually steered antennas suitable for deployment on land, on the go, in the air, or on the water. A global Geo-synchronous orbit (GEO) satellite fleet provides C-, Ku- and Ka bands for broadcast, corporate, telecom and government customers. On the ground, their Lightspeed terminals self-acquire a satellite signal and connect to the network with Gigabytes per second capacity.
With the drop in the cost of getting to LEO, many satellite and communications companies rushed to fly spacecraft at that altitude. Being much lower than GEO significantly shortens the time delay between Earth receivers and the satellites. Addressing the reduced broadcast area coverage with more satellites became an appropriate financial trade-off.
