Low-Earth Orbit satellites - Spectrum access (v1_0)

Traditionally, geo stationary satellites located at more than 36,000 km above the earth have been used to provide satellite communication to a wide area.An alternative approach however,once unsuccessfully tried in the past is now surfacing again. The idea is to use considerably massive constellation of satellites at lower altitudes to both densify the network and reduce latency. Although technically feasible, those numerous projects come with challenges and access to spectrum is one of them.At stake,the possibility to provide enough capacity at the right price points to serve markets that remain up to now unserved.
