Advantages and disadvantages of LEO compared to GEO

ADVANTAGES

Orbit-Up to 1800 miles(LEO) compared with GEO Up to 22300 miles A LEO satellites proximity to earth compared to a GEO satellite gives it a better signal strength and less of a time delay, which makes it better for point to point communication. Requires phones that use the omni-directional antenna Signal Strength

Distance of Orbit

CONT.

LEO satellite are used most frequently by satellite phone service.

LEO satellites move more rapidly than the Earths orbit and a handheld device Because of their shorter distance from the earth.

A LEO satellites smaller area of coverage leads to better bandwidth.

DISADVANTAGES

LEO satellite have the shorter lifetime than GEO

LEO- 5-7.5years GEO-10-15years

A network of LEO satellites is needed, which can be costly.

Higher maintenance costs
