In satellite communications, understanding orbits is as essential as the technology. GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites each play unique roles in building reliable, global networks. GEO (Geostationary Orbit): 35,786 km above Earth, GEO satellites remain fixed over one location. Uses: Broadcasting, weather monitoring, internet, and government/military communications. Strengths: Wide coverage, minimal ground infrastructure, stable positioning. Trade-offs: Higher latency and larger systems for data transmission. MEO (Medium Earth Orbit): 2,000–35,786 km, MEO balances speed and coverage. Uses: Navigation (GPS, Galileo), regional communications, and specialized applications. Strengths: Lower latency than GEO, high capacity, regional flexibility. Trade-offs: Smaller coverage areas and inclined orbits for extreme latitudes. LEO (Low Earth Orbit): 500–2,000 km, LEO satellites provide low-latency, high-speed data. Uses: Broadband (Starlink), IoT, real-time communications, and defense. Strengths: Low latency, rapid data transfer. Trade-offs: Larger constellations and shorter lifespans. Why Orbit Selection Matters: GEO: Wide coverage, higher latency. MEO: Mid-latency, regional flexibility. LEO: Low-latency, real-time communication. The Power of Multi-Orbit Connectivity Get SAT terminals work across all orbits, harnessing GEO’s wide coverage, MEO’s precision, and LEO’s agility for reliable, robust communication in any scenario.

🚁 BLOS vs LOS: The Future of UAV Communications 🛰️   In today’s modern battlefield, small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play a crucial role in gathering intelligence and keeping people safe. However, many UAVs are still limited by Line of Sight (LOS) communication, which restricts their range and effectiveness.   What’s the challenge?   LOS communication requires a clear, direct path between the UAV and its ground station. As the UAV moves further away, it must fly higher to maintain connection, impacting the quality of the imagery and video collected, in addition to being more exposed to danger. This distance can reduce mission effectiveness, particularly in mountainous areas or during critical operations, where detailed, high-quality intelligence is essential. LOS is also vulnerable to jamming and other disruptions, putting both mission and UAVs at risk.   Why Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS)   To overcome these limitations, Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communication using SATCOM is becoming the preferred choice. Instead of relying on direct path, UAVs connect to satellites, enabling real-time data transmission and dynamic mission control from safe, distant locations. With BLOS, UAVs can fly lower, gather clearer intelligence, and adapt to evolving mission needs without the limitations of LOS.   However, small UAVs have traditionally been incompatible with SATCOM solutions due to the size and weight of the required terminals - until now.   Get SAT’s Solution   At Get SAT, we’ve developed a lightweight, highly efficient SATCOM terminal that enables BLOS capabilities for relatively small and medium-sized UAVs. Get SAT’s solution combines best-in-class SWaP with exceptional operational efficiency for its compact terminal size.   With Get SAT, small UAVs are no longer limited by LOS constraints. Our systems support real-time, secure communication through GEO and MEO satellite constellations, keeping ground control safe and maximizing the UAV’s effectiveness.

In satellite communications, precision and clarity are essential.  One important factor that ensures this, is polarization. What is Polarization? Polarization refers to the orientation of electromagnetic waves transmitted and received by antennas. It can be horizontal, vertical, or circular. Polarization affects how well the signal is transmitted and received, reducing interference and maximizing clarity. Why Polarization Matters? Improving signal quality and polarization alignment ensures the best power reception and transmission for reliable communication. It also increases bandwidth efficiency, doubling the capacity of a single-frequency channel. By reducing cross-polarization interference, it leads to more stable and robust communications, optimizing coverage even in challenging environments. At Get SAT, Our systems support circular polarizations and linear polarizations with skew fine-tuning. This enables integration with any satellite network and even switching between them. This ensures faster data rates, near-seamless connectivity, and reliable connections, even in harsh environments. Our systems are ideal for critical communications, whether for emergency response, defense, or commercial applications. In summary, polarization is crucial in boosting satellite communication performance. Get SAT’s expertise guarantees unmatched performance and the most reliable satcom solutions.
