What the Tropical Pacific Wants From Starlink for Christmas: Will LEO Networks Finally Bridge the Digital Divide to Remote Islands?
The tropical Pacific with its many remote islands is home to hundreds of thousands of people reliant on satellite for Internet service. The new generation low-earth-orbit (LEO) networks are hailed as game changers, but how well are Starlink and its competitors shaping up when it comes to serving this part of the world? This paper looks at aspects from system capacity to constellation configuration, content delivery, gateway placement and routing to assess what works and does not work for the region, and what needs to happen for Pacific Islanders to truly benefit from LEO networks.
