LEO satellite networks offer new enterprise connectivity options, but require careful evaluation

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are becoming a viable alternative to traditional terrestrial fiber for enterprise connectivity, offering improved latency and reliability over older geostationary (GEO) satellites. However, the rapidly expanding LEO market presents a complex landscape for CIOs and CTOs to navigate. Key evaluation factors for LEO services include network composition (frequency bands, compatibility with existing infrastructure like Layer 2 Ethernet or MEF 3.0 standards), service reliability (guaranteed vs. best-effort), security measures (encryption, NIST compliance, zero-trust architecture), and service flexibility.
