These plans may indicate a significant shift in the satellite broadband market, with potential implications for terrestrial broadband providers. The focus on low-latency and high-capacity satellites suggests a growing demand for high-speed connectivity, which could benefit both SpaceX and Orbital Compute.
Ambitious Constellations Target Low-Latency Broadband And Orbital Computing
SpaceX and Orbital Compute have filed separate plans with the FCC to deploy 100,000 satellites each, targeting low-latency broadband and orbital computing applications. SpaceX’s Gen 3 satellites will support multi-gigabit speeds, while Orbital Compute’s constellation will provide 10 gigawatts of orbital computing power. The plans were first reported by Light Reading.
