Definition and Overview Aviation satellite services refer to the use of satellites to support air travel through communication, navigation, surveillance, and connectivity functions. These services enable aircraft to maintain links far beyond the range of ground-based radios by connecting to communications satellites en.wikipedia.org. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide precise positioning and navigation signals to…

Disasters – whether natural or man-made – often wreak havoc on local communication infrastructure. Hurricanes, earthquakes, and conflicts can topple cell towers, sever fiber-optic cables, and leave entire regions cut off. For instance, Hurricane Maria in 2017 damaged 95% of cell towers in Puerto Rico, leaving the island largely without phone service freepress.net. In such…

Cameroon, a Central African nation of about 29.5 million people, is racing to improve internet connectivity for its citizens. As of early 2025, roughly 41.9% of the population uses the internet, leaving the majority still offline datareportal.com bmz-digital.global. Internet access has grown rapidly over the past decade, yet it remains unevenly distributed and faces many…

When hurricanes flatten cell towers and earthquakes sever landlines, staying connected becomes a lifeline. In such dire scenarios, satellite phones emerge as critical tools to maintain communication when the grid goes dark. Unlike regular cell phones tied to terrestrial networks, satellite phones link directly to satellites orbiting above, enabling calls and messages from virtually anywhere…

In the race for high-speed internet, satellite and fiber-optic broadband represent two very different approaches. Fiber-optic (terrestrial broadband) is often considered the gold standard – delivering data at nearly the speed of light through glass cables buried underground or strung on poles mcsnet.ca. Satellite internet, by contrast, beams data to orbiting satellites and back to…

Imagine a village high in the mountains or deep in the rainforest, once cut off from the online world, suddenly gaining high-speed internet from the sky. This is the promise of satellite internet. By beaming broadband connectivity from orbit, satellite networks are bridging the digital divide and transforming life in far-flung communities. In 2023, an…

Low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet has become a hotly contested “final frontier” of the telecom industry. Multiple players – notably SpaceX’s Starlink, the UK/India-backed OneWeb (now part of Eutelsat), Amazon’s Project Kuiper, and Canada’s Telesat Lightspeed – are racing to blanket the globe in affordable, high-speed internet from space. All seek to deliver broadband to…

Overview of Cambodia’s Internet Infrastructure Cambodia’s internet landscape has transformed rapidly over the past decade, heavily favoring wireless over wired connectivity. Mobile broadband is the primary backbone of internet access, with over 22 million cellular subscriptions in a country of ~17 million people datareportal.com – a penetration of 131.5% (many users own multiple SIMs). Major…
