Abstract

Almost two-thirds of the humankind currently does not have access to the Internet, wired or wireless. We present a Space Internet proposal capable of providing Zetabyte/ month capacity which is equivalent to 200GB/month for 5 Billion users Worldwide. Our proposal is based on deploying thousands of low-cost micro-satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), each capable of providing Terabit/s data rates with signal latencies better than or equal to ground based systems.

    • Well here's something to get you started. One of those whitepapers I told you that you can easily google. Mind you, none of them is exactly complete (once they are, they stay internal to the company). https://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.02383.pdf
