LEO ⇝

low earth orbit

<communications >

(LEO) The kind of orbit used by communications satellites that will offer high bandwidth for video on demand, television, and Internet communications. A satellite in LEO, in contrast to one in a geostationary orbit, is not in a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface so several satellites are required to provide continuous service. [Ovum report, "Applications for the superhighway", John Moroney].
