The satellite internet is the new way of connecting the world. That can guarantee network coverage even in the remotest parts of the world. Fiber or cellular network-based internet requires the infrastructure to be connected to the last mile to ensure services; however, services like Starlink rely on a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbits that can deliver internet services directly from the skies.
