LEO, MEO and GEO are low, medium and geostationary Earth orbits. GEO has the advantage of satellites remaining fixed over one position on Earth allowing constant coverage of a large area. Disadvantages of LEO include higher satellite velocity requiring more satellites for global coverage and shorter lifespan due to atmospheric drag.
