LEO satellites need simple stations, portable terminals, as well as small antennas and power sources, allowing great flexibility in their use. For the implementation of the information superhighway there is talk of the use of LEO satellites, which are located in a low orbit, are smaller and have less fuel than the GEO satellites. LEO systems require many satellites, located in different planes, to obtain total global coverage, and their useful life would be about 5 years.
