Low Earth Orbit Internet FAQs for transport
-
LEO (Low Earth Orbit) refers to a new generation of satellite constellations (like Starlink or OneWeb) that orbit much closer to Earth than old GEO satellites. This proximity provides two massive benefits: high speeds (200+ Mbps) and low latency (<100ms), making it usable for video calls, streaming, and real-time data.
-
The biggest difference is latency (lag). Traditional GEO satellites are 35,000 km away, resulting in high latency (600ms+) that makes applications like Teams or VoIP calls unusable. LEO satellites are only 550 km away, providing low latency (<100ms) that feels just like fibre or 5G.
-
We use specialised, flat-panel phased-array antennas that are designed for mobility. These antennas are electronically steered, meaning they have no moving parts. They automatically track the LEO satellites as they move across the sky, maintaining a constant, high-speed connection even while the vehicle is in motion.
-
This is the most resilient solution. An SD-WAN device on the vehicle connects to both the LEO antenna and one or more 5G/4G modems. It then "bonds" these connections, treating them as a single, ultra-reliable link. It intelligently sends traffic over the best path (e.g., 5G in a city, LEO in a rural area) and provides hitless failover, so a video call won't even drop if one connection fails.
-
Yes. A single LEO connection can provide hundreds of Mbps of bandwidth. This is more than enough to provide a high-quality, stable WiFi experience for dozens of passengers, allowing them to stream video, browse, and work.
