2019 could also see the launch of a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite
system from an LEO satellite provider to deliver improved internet
connectivity to rural users and remote commercial operations.
LEO satellites have the potential to deliver faster connections and
dramatically lower latency—capabilities that are especially critical
in remote locations where data need to be processed immediately,
at the source (rather than waiting for processing on a centralized
data server). Potential target customers are cruise ships, military
installations, rural schools, far-flung oil and gas operations, and
consumers frustrated with the poor performance of their current
satellite internet service.
