Introduction
Satellite Communications
Communications satellites are located in fixed positions above the
Earth’s equator and relay data to/from the earth within the regions
that they serve. Therefore, to communicate via a given satellite, you
must be located within that satellite’s unique coverage area, also
known as its “footprint.”
To view the latest mini-VSAT Broadband satellite coverage map, visit
KVH’s website at
www.kvh.com/minivsatmap . The map is an
amalgamation of all of the individual satellites’ coverage areas.
