  • GEO Satellite service uses Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites
  • These satellites appear to be stationary above a particular point on the earth
  • The signals are transmitted and received using a simple reflector and transceiver
  • GEO satellites are much further away from earth than Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites
  • This influences the bandwidth and latency of the signals
