Meeting Short-Term Cellular Demand with Satellite Service

Cellular backhaul is what connects cell towers and mobile phone users to wider networks. And while MNOs can roll out temporary cell sites, it’s not so easy to beef up cell backhaul infrastructure, which typically requires laying miles of cable or installing expensive microwave antennas and supporting infrastructure. However, there is an alternative: cellular backhaul provided by satellites.

MNOs around the globe use satellite-based backhaul to deliver 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE services to millions of customers each day, providing a user experience across text, voice, video, and data applications that is typically indistinguishable from that provided by terrestrial infrastructure.
