A key trend is the launch of large satellite networks by major companies. These include SpaceX's Starlink, OneWeb, and Amazon's Project Kuiper. Their networks consist of hundreds or thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit. These satellites offer wide coverage and faster response times compared to older, higher-orbit satellites. For instance, in May 2023, SpaceX launched over 4,000 Starlink satellites to provide global internet coverage. This project aims to bring high-speed internet to rural and underserved areas, improving worldwide connectivity. The initiative has been especially helpful in regions without traditional internet infrastructure.
