LEO Satellites for Backhaul |
NEWS |
Telesat and Telefónica International Wholesale Services (TIWS) have recently completed a live in-orbit trial of a broad selection of applications on Telesat's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Phase-1 satellite.
Applications tested over Telesat LEO resulted in observed round-trip latency of 30-60 microseconds without any packet loss. Test scenarios included:
LEO Compared with Other Satellite Types |
IMPACT |
Latency is the main benefit that LEO satellites bring to mobile networks. Orbiting at altitudes between 400 km and 1,500 km, LEO satellites have a latency period of 20 to 60 microseconds, a much lower latency rate compared to the 140 microseconds and 280 microseconds latency rates of Medium Earth Orbit…
