Satellite for Verticals

Enabling broadband connectivity in areas where it is hard or not (yet) possible to deploy terrestrial connections, such as lakes, islands, mountains, rural areas and isolated areas. 

Ensuring connectivity complements terrestrial networks, such as broadband connectivity to homes and offices in underserved areas, via hybrid terrestrial-satellite connectivity.

Efficient multicast/broadcast delivery to network edges for content such as live broadcasts, ad-hoc broadcast/multicast streams, and group communications.
