What is LEO satellite internet?

Traditional satellite internet uses geostationary (GEO) satellites orbiting at 35,786km above Earth. The sheer distance creates latency of 600ms or more, making video calls, VPN connections and real-time applications unusable.

LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites orbit at just 550km altitude. This dramatically reduces latency to 20-40ms, comparable to fixed-line broadband, while delivering download speeds of 100-220Mbps. The constellation of thousands of satellites ensures coverage anywhere on the planet with a clear view of the sky.

We deploy LEO satellite as a managed service, handling installation, monitoring and support. It is the ultimate last-resort connectivity option for locations where cellular coverage is absent and fixed-line infrastructure does not exist.

  • Works anywhere with a clear view of the sky
  • Latency comparable to terrestrial broadband (20-40ms)
  • No reliance on mobile networks or fixed-line infrastructure
  • Self-orienting dish with automated satellite tracking
  • Ideal for remote events, highland sites and maritime use

How LEO satellite internet works

Site assessment

We confirm your location has a clear view of the sky and assess any obstructions that could affect signal quality.

Dish installation

A compact, self-orienting dish is installed at your site. It automatically tracks LEO satellites as they pass overhead.

Network configuration

We configure your local network, WiFi access points and any VLANs or firewall rules required for your use case.

Managed monitoring

Our NOC monitors performance, manages firmware updates and provides ongoing support for the life of the service.

LEO satellite vs traditional satellite vs cellular

LEO satellite bridges the gap between unusable GEO satellite and unavailable cellular coverage.

“Our highland event venue had zero mobile signal and no fixed-line option. LEO satellite gave us 150Mbps with latency low enough for live streaming. It completely transformed what we could offer.”

Why choose Click Telecom for LEO satellite?

Managed end-to-end

We handle everything from site survey and installation to ongoing monitoring, firmware updates and support.

Hybrid connectivity

We can bond LEO satellite with cellular or fixed-line connections for maximum speed and redundancy.

Professional installation

Our engineers install and optimise dish placement for maximum sky visibility and signal quality.

Network integration

We configure your local network, WiFi access points, VLANs and firewall rules as part of the service.

Flexible deployment

Available for permanent installations or temporary event deployments. Equipment can be relocated as needed.

Priority business service

We manage business-grade LEO accounts with priority data allocation, not consumer residential plans.

LEO satellite internet: frequently asked questions

What speeds can I expect from LEO satellite?
LEO satellite typically delivers download speeds of 100 to 220Mbps and upload speeds of 10 to 40Mbps. Performance varies based on network congestion, weather conditions and the number of satellites visible from your location at any given time.
Is LEO satellite affected by weather?
LEO satellite is less affected by weather than traditional GEO satellite, but heavy rain or snow can temporarily reduce speeds. The low orbit means signals pass through less atmosphere, reducing weather-related attenuation compared to GEO systems.
Does the dish need a clear view of the sky?
Yes. The dish needs an unobstructed view of as much sky as possible. Trees, buildings and other obstructions can block satellite signals and reduce performance. We assess sky visibility during our site survey and recommend optimal dish placement.
Can LEO satellite support video conferencing?
Yes. Unlike traditional GEO satellite with 600ms+ latency, LEO satellite delivers 20-40ms latency which is low enough for smooth video calls, VoIP and real-time collaboration tools.
Can you combine LEO satellite with other connections?
Yes. We can bond LEO satellite with cellular (4G/5G) connections to create a hybrid solution with higher combined speeds and automatic failover between technologies. This is particularly useful for sites with partial cellular coverage.
Is LEO satellite suitable for temporary events?
Yes. We offer LEO satellite for temporary event deployments. The dish can be set up in under an hour and provides reliable internet for the duration of your event, regardless of how remote the venue is.
What is the difference between LEO and Starlink?
Starlink is one provider of LEO satellite internet. We deploy and manage Starlink Business accounts as part of our managed connectivity service, handling installation, monitoring, network configuration and ongoing support so you do not need to manage it yourself.
