“Ever wondered how signals travel to space and back almost instantly? That’s the magic of LEO satellites.”

---

Orbit: 500–1,200 km above Earth — much closer than GEO satellites.
Speed: They circle Earth fast, forming  constellations that relay signals.

Function: Data goes up, hops between satellites, then back down.

Result: Low latency, fast communication, wide coverage.

From Telstar in 1962 to today’s LEO constellations, satellite internet has evolved from the first TV signal across the Atlantic to fast, reliable connectivity with providers like AfrikaStar.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll show you how it works in practice.
