Traditional satcom players pivot to multi-orbit architectures as SpaceX pushes low-latency LEO broadband After SpaceX disrupted satellite communications with low-latency broadband from low Earth orbit, traditional satellite operators are promoting “multi-orbit” architectures that integrate LEO, MEO and geostationary capacity. The approach is pitched as a way to survive outages, attacks and congestion.
