## Resource

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into how Low Earth Orbit satellites from companies like SpaceX's Starlink and OneWeb are fundamentally changing the way internet traffic is routed across the globe. They discuss the unique challenges of routing data over a constellation of fast-moving satellites, the innovations in software-defined networking that make it possible, and the implications for latency and connectivity in remote regions. Specific numbers include Starlink's current constellation of over 4,000 satellites and a look at how laser inter-satellite links are creating a mesh network in space. Listeners will learn why LEO satellites are not just an extension of the internet but could become a new backbone layer. #LEO #Starlink #OneWeb #SatelliteInternet #SpaceX #InternetBackbone #Routing #NetworkEngineering #LowEarthOrbit #LaserLinks #SoftwareDefinedNetworking #SDN #Latency #Connectivity #Technology #Telecommunications #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
