Broadband Breakfast on March 19, 2025 - Spectrum and the Opportunities for LEO Satellite Broadband
Securing the necessary spectrum for LEO operations is a key challenge.
As the demand for global connectivity rises, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite broadband is emerging as a powerful solution to bridge the digital divide. However, securing the necessary spectrum for LEO operations is a key challenge. With new technological advancements and regulatory shifts, how will spectrum allocation impact the future of satellite broadband? Can LEO satellites successfully complement terrestrial networks, or will they face roadblocks in terms of competition and spectrum availability?
