Outside of the cities, there are still huge numbers of people with a daily need to communicate. In many more remote areas, there is no access to a terrestrial telecommunication system and wireless networks are either inaccessible or, at best, unreliable. In hilly or mountainous terrains ordinary line-of-sight communication is impractical and the only viable solution is satellite communication.
The array of devices capable of making use of orbiting satellites for communication purposes has grown steadily. Apart from the obvious satellite phones, outdoor television broadcasters in remote areas frequently make use of satellite uplinks to bring their material to air while data supplied to GPS based navigation systems and by vehicle tracking devices may also depend heavily on this technology and are often able to switch communication protocols seamlessly as conditions demand.
