SATCOM (Satellite Communications)

Satellite Communications (SATCOM) involves transmitting data, voice, or video signals through satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites act as relay stations, receiving signals from a ground station, amplifying or processing them, and then transmitting them to another ground station or device. This system allows for global coverage, especially in remote or hard-to-reach areas, enabling services like television broadcasts, internet connectivity, and secure military communications. The process relies on radio frequencies that can travel long distances through space, ensuring reliable and wide-reaching communication channels across the world.
