Communications Satellite

A communications satellite is an artificial satellite that relays radio, television, internet, and phone signals across long distances. Positioned in space, typically orbiting Earth at a fixed location or in a predictable path, it receives signals from a ground station, amplifies or processes them, and then transmits them to other ground stations or devices. This technology enables rapid, reliable communication over vast regions, including remote or oceanic areas, making it essential for global connectivity, broadcasting, and data transfer. Think of it as a high-altitude relay station facilitating instant communication across the world.
