Integrating LEO Satellite Broadband into BEAD-Era Broadband Plans

As the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is approving BEAD state and territory Final Proposals, a mix of technology have been proposed to ensure that all areas are connected to high speed internet. This webinar will explore how some states are embracing low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband as a cost-effective, rapidly deployable solution for unserved and underserved communities. J

An in depth discussion with state leaders to discuss why LEO satellite technology is emerging as a key option for rural deployment and how they are structuring their plans to provide universal broadband access to accommodate alternative technologies like LEO. Presenters will discuss what models of LEO adoption are emerging, deployment challenges and lessons learned that have surfaced so far, and performance metrics.
