Overview

There are today more than 8 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide. A large number of these subscribers are in developing countries, and many of them live in low-income remote rural areas. Mixed satellite-cellular solutions can be used to reach these subscribers and are well-suited to address the challenges of these populations. With a proper engineering, available solutions can ensure adequate end-to-end Quality of Service with a proper control of the Total Cost of Ownership. They can therefore lead to profitaable mobile operations even in low-revenue rural areas.
