Satellite Connectivity – Technical Specifications

  • Zero One delivers broadband connectivity via a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation consisting of 600+ satellites operating at approximately 1,200 km altitude across 12 synchronised orbital planes.

    The constellation architecture enables:

    • Reduced propagation delay compared to GEO systems

    • Continuous global coverage through orbital handoff

    • Multi-beam spot coverage with frequency reuse

    • Dynamic traffic routing through terrestrial gateway infrastructure

    The system integrates into global fibre backbone networks via strategically positioned ground gateway stations.

  • Typical Service Profiles (Enterprise Grade):

    • Downlink throughput: 150–195 Mbps per terminal (service tier dependent)

    • Uplink throughput: up to 30 Mbps

    • Round-trip latency: <70 ms (typical)

    • Network availability: ≥99.9% (subject to SLA tier)

    • Total system capacity: >1.1 Tbps aggregate

    Low latency enables support for:

    • SD-WAN environments

    • Real-time cloud applications

    • VoIP and unified communications

    • Secure VPN and encrypted tunnels

    • Remote operations and telemetry

  • Customer-premises equipment (CPE) typically includes:

    • Electronically steered or mechanically aligned satellite terminal

    • Integrated modem/router unit

    • Power supply (AC or solar-compatible configurations)

    • Optional edge firewall or secure gateway appliance

    Terminals support Ethernet handoff for integration with:

    • Enterprise LAN/WAN

    • Mobile network backhaul equipment

    • Government network infrastructure

    • Private MPLS or SD-WAN deployments

  • The system supports high-capacity satellite backhaul for:

    • 3G/4G/5G mobile base stations

    • Rural and remote telecom towers

    • Redundant failover for fibre infrastructure

    • Mining and energy site connectivity

    Bandwidth allocation can be provisioned as:

    • Dedicated CIR (Committed Information Rate)

    • Shared capacity pools

    • Tiered enterprise service plans

    Traffic prioritisation and QoS policies are configurable per deployment.

  • The network incorporates:

    • Multi-layer encryption

    • Secure gateway routing

    • Authentication-based access controls

    • Segmented traffic management

    • Compatibility with enterprise firewall and zero-trust architectures

    Suitable for:

    • Government deployments

    • Defence-related applications (subject to regulatory clearance)

    • Enterprise-grade secure environments

  • The LEO satellite network is designed for interoperability with:

    • Fibre backbone networks

    • Microwave backhaul systems

    • Mobile core networks

    • Cloud infrastructure providers

    Hybrid deployments enable:

    • Fibre-primary / satellite-backup architectures

    • Satellite-primary / fibre-secondary redundancy

    • SD-WAN load balancing

  • Supports fixed and mobility use cases, including:

    • Maritime broadband

    • Aviation connectivity

    • Remote land mobility

    • Temporary emergency deployments

    Rapid deployment capability enables installation in environments where terrestrial infrastructure is unavailable or compromised.

    • Minimal ground infrastructure footprint

    • No trenching or tower construction required

    • Rapid installation (hours, not months)

    • Weather tolerance within operational thresholds
