Faster connections from a closer orbit.
VLEO delivers 3× lower latency and 9× stronger signal power for the next generation of satellite communications.
The link budget closes from below.
Lower latency
Under 20 ms (~10 ms vs ~30 ms at LEO) enables real-time applications and pushes satellite internet toward the sub-30 ms mark where it competes with cable and fibre.
Stronger signal
Shorter range cuts free-space path loss (inverse-square), so the same antenna and EIRP get ~9× stronger signal — smaller ground terminals or higher throughput.
High-frequency, high-throughput
At ~200 km even 30–50 GHz links hold a positive power margin: smaller antennas, lower transmit power, wider bandwidths.
COTS-friendly
~10× lower radiation allows low-cost commercial electronics in the payload.
Close enough to feel real-time.
Halving the slant range roughly thirds the round-trip. That's the difference between a usable interactive link and a frustrating one.
Shorter slant range cuts propagation delay — pushing satellite links toward the sub-30 ms mark where they compete with cable and fibre. Illustrative figures.
The clearest near-term GTM angle.
D2D is the fastest-growing segment in satellite comms. SpaceX's FCC approval for 6,000–7,000 VLEO satellites validates the commercial direction — and the band Orbitt is built for.
Satellite internet market by 2030, growing at 13.9% CAGR.
