Broadcast satellites

Broadcast satellites are communication satellites positioned in space that transmit television, radio, and internet signals directly to receivers on Earth. They orbit high above the planet, allowing their signals to cover large geographic areas. Ground stations send content to the satellite, which then relays it to thousands or millions of homes via satellite dishes or antennas. This technology enables widespread, reliable broadcasting and communication services regardless of location, playing a crucial role in global media distribution. Broadcast satellites are essential for delivering live events, news, and entertainment across distant or rural regions where traditional infrastructure may be limited.
