He explained that while the low-latency claims of new LEO constellations are intriguing, LEO wouldn\u2019t really come into play in the telco\u2019s plans until they were ready to start supporting 5G and even 6G plans.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a matter of \u201cif,\u201d but rather \u201cwhen,\u201d said Aberkane. \u201cThe latency becomes important when we support real-time applications like gaming. Right now, we\u2019re working with HTS and starting to work with VHTS provided by our Alcomsat-1 satellite. Moving forward, I\u2019m confident that LEO and MEO will be a part of our business plan when we get to that point,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Aberkane\u2019s presentation and keynote are free to watch and download.
