The latest space race aims to provide satellite internet with real-time latency for data-intensive industrial and business-oriented communication applications. A shorter trip is a faster trip, hence LEO satellites (LEOs) positioned nearer to the earth are at an advantage to maximize data transmission. With terrestrial access to broadband increasingly constrained, LEOs potentially raise the bar to provide lightning speed connectivity, to offer ubiquitous satellite internet to a host of industries. This report highlights the current state of play and the future potential of LEOs in driving uninterrupted communications and low-latency broadband across various communities, which is anticipated to unlock new possibilities for enterprises across industries such as telecom, media, and technology (TMT), aerospace and defense, and transportation, among others.
