Satellite Communication is a process of exchanging the information between two or more points on Earth using a communication satellite in orbit around the Earth. It provides services like television broadcasting, mobile communication, internet services, and many more.

How Satellite Communications Work?

Satellites that are used for communication are mostly placed in geostationary orbit that means they orbit the Earth at the same speed as the Earth rotates. It appears as if the Satellite is stationary relative to the Earth’s surface. 

The Satellite acts as a station for signals transmitted from one point to another. The signals are first sent to the satellite via a transmitter. Then the satellite receives the signal, and amplifies it and retransmits back to the Earth. 

Applications of Satellite Communication

Satellite communications have several applications.

1. Most common one is television broadcasting.
2. Mobile communication Services
3. Internet services in rural and remote areas.

Advantages

1. They provide global coverage and can reach remote areas.
2. They also have high bandwidth that allows for the transmission of large amounts of data.

Satellite communications have revolutionized the way we communicate and provide global coverage and connectivity in areas where terrestrial communication infrastructure is not available. They have several applications, and advantages that makes them a valuable technolog for communication.
