Orbiting web access
Satellite internet is a way of connecting to the internet using signals beamed between an orbiting satellite and a dish at the user's location.
It serves rural and remote areas where cable or fiber infrastructure doesn't reach.
Traditional satellite internet suffered from high latency due to signal travel distance; newer low-earth-orbit systems like Starlink have reduced this delay significantly.
