About two-thirds of the world still does not have access to the Internet. That’s one reason Farooq Khan, president of Samsung Research America, cites for developing a vision of a “Space Internet” to provide Internet access to virtually every part of the globe. Khan’s proposal is to deploy thousands of low-cost micro-satellites placed in low-Earth orbit. Combined with a new wireless architecture, each satellite could provide terabitper- second data rates, Khan says. Together, the satellites could provide Zetabyte/month capacity, which equates to about 200GB per month for 5 billion users worldwide.
