Herefordshire, UK, March 12,2026--The satellite ground segment is undergoing a structural transition rather than a simple technology upgrade. 

As bandwidth demands increase and ground architectures become more varied, operators are being asked to support multiple missions and orbits from shared infrastructure. 

Los Angeles, Calif., March 10, 2026--As part of its move towards service provision and end-to-end connectivity, Orbital Connect has developed a ready-to-operate ground segment solution for LEO earth observation.  LEO satellites have the advantage of low latency and high bandwidth, however, they also have the disadvantage of moving rapidly, relative to any fixed point on earth, passing over in only six to twelve minutes.  This means that in order to maximize their potential, a robust ground segment is essential.

Los Angeles, Calif., March 10, 2026--Seasoned telecommunications and satellite professionals Krasimir Terziev and Bobby Kirchev started together Orbital Connect in 2020. In a relatively short time, they built the company into one of the leading channel partners and authorized distributors of leading global hardware manufacturers and are now offering ground segment and connectivity services, among others.
