You have a satellite
It circles the planet every 90 minutes. Everything it collects has to come down, every command has to go up. The question is how.
- 02
You build a ground station
A dish only sees the satellite while it passes overhead: ten minutes, a few times a day. Physics sets that limit, not the dish. The other 97% of the day, data waits.
- 03
You rent more dishes
Antennas on every continent mean more passes, but a pass is still a pass: a booked ten-minute slot, then nothing. More dishes shorten the gaps. They cannot close them.

You try a GEO relay
A relay 36,000 km out sees most of your orbit. The distance is also the catch: the signal fades with distance squared, so you get kilobits, and need a bigger antenna and more power to get even that.

You join the constellations already in orbit
Thousands of commercial satellites already fly a few hundred kilometres from yours. PermaSat speaks 5G-NTN and attaches to the nearest one, like a phone to a cell tower. The constellation carries your data to the ground. One is always in reach, so the link never closes.
There are cell towers in orbit now.
Your satellite should be using them.
Delete the pass schedule.
Contact isn't an event. It's your satellite's default state.
Waiting for the next pass is over.
Your satellite is on the internet now. Reach it whenever you like.
Skip the ground station.
A 5G terminal on your satellite. The constellations already in orbit do the rest.
Build the satellite.
Not the ground segment.
Permanent 5G connectivity in low Earth orbit, without a dish of your own.

PermaSat makes it that simple. Any time, from anywhere.
Phones join networks.
So can satellites.
A small 5G terminal for satellites in low Earth orbit.
Reachable. All day, every day.
Add a 5G terminal, and the constellations nearby become your cell towers.
Roaming, for satellites.
Your satellite on the cellular network. Just like your phone.
Your satellite has a phone now.
There are cell towers in orbit. It should use them.
Launch got cheap.
Ground didn't.
Skip the dish. A 5G terminal brings your data home via the space internet.
Lose the dish.
Keep the data.
It comes home over the space internet instead.
Always in range.
An orbital cell tower is never far away.
Stop waiting for passes.
One 5G terminal turns the constellations overhead into your ground segment.
