- 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
