Satellites Communications satellites are relay stations for radio signals and provide reliable and distance-independent high-speed connections even at remote locations without high-bandwidth infrastructure. On point-to-point transmission, the transmission method originally employed on, satellites face increasing competition from In the future, satellites will become stronger, cheaper and their orbits will be lower; their services might become as common as satellite TV is today.
