Satellite Internet access is Internet access provided through communication satellites; if it can sustain high speeds, it is termed satellite broadband. Modern consumer grade satellite Internet service is typically provided to individual users through geostationary satellites that can offer relatively high data speeds, [ 1 ] with newer ...
A satellite internet constellation is a constellation of artificial satellites providing satellite internet service.In particular, the term has come to refer to a new generation of very large constellations (sometimes referred to as megaconstellations [1]) orbiting in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide low-latency, high bandwidth internet service.

[26] "Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access" [24] —US National Broadband Plan of 2009 [27]

A communications satellite's transponder is the series of interconnected units that form a communications channel between the receiving and the transmitting antennas. [1] It is mainly used in satellite communication to transfer the received signals. A transponder is typically composed of: an input band-limiting device (an input band-pass filter),
