The Future of GEO Satellite Services: A Service Provider Perspective
The large-scale deployment of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services, exemplified by projects like Starlink and OneWeb entering the African market, raises questions about the future of Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite services. With 36 LEO projects in the pipeline and a forecasted launch of approximately 63,416 satellites, concerns arise regarding the potential obsolescence of GEO satellites.
Dr. Dawie de Wet navigates the complex interplay between LEO and GEO satellites, offering a strategic roadmap for Q-KON & Twoobii and the broader satellite industry in Africa and beyond.
