Abstract

Summary form only given. This presentation summarizes the new mobile and broadband capabilities of currently planned Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications systems. The paper discusses the wireless communications revolution and the role of LEO constellations in providing affordable wireless access to narrow and broadband digital communications for all areas of the world. Our future will include many LEO networks providing alternative space-based wireless, digital, global communications utilities. Comparisons are made of the services, features and capabilities of these new "Little" LEO's, "Big" LEO's and "Broadband" LEO Constellations on the horizon.
