Such platforms deliver strong coverage, but they can also struggle to adapt to rising capacity demands and suffer from painfully slow connection latency.<\/p>\n<p>However, over the past few years we&#8217;ve seen the emergence of a new generation of <strong>Non-Geostationary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">Satellite<\/a> Orbit<\/strong> (NGSO) satellites, such as the mega constellations in <strong>Low Earth Orbit<\/strong> (LEO &#8211; typically around 500-1300km) from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/oneweb\" target=\"_blank\">OneWeb<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/starlink\" target=\"_blank\">Starlink<\/a> that cost a lot to launch, but are better able to adapt to capacity demands and deliver fast latency times (under 100 milliseconds), as well as ultrafast (100Mbps+) speeds.<\/p>\n<p>The changing market has forced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> to update their strategy toward spectrum use in space, which in turn has today resulted in several changes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Key Changes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 Doubling capacity available for a range of services to transmit data to satellites by making spectrum in the 14.25 &#8211; 14.5GHz &#8220;<em>Ku band<\/em>&#8221; available to satellite broadband operators (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/consultations-and-statements\/category-1\/extending-access-in-ku-band\">here<\/a>).
