COMSAT

COMSAT, or the Communications Satellite Corporation, is a company established in 1963 to develop and operate commercial communication satellites. Its main role is to enable long-distance voice, television, and data transmissions by bouncing signals through space via satellites, rather than relying solely on undersea cables or terrestrial infrastructure. This technology allows for global communication services, especially useful in remote or difficult-to-wire areas. COMSAT has contributed to expanding international connectivity, supporting both commercial and government communication needs, and helping to make global communication faster, more reliable, and accessible across the world.
