IoT-over-Satellite / Massive LEO Constellations, challenges and opportunities
Channel: Space systems with Akram Al-Hourani
Date: 09/08/2021

This was delivered as par of a seminar for IEEE Victorian Section on Aug-2021. The talk covers:
- What is IoT-over-Satellite and why do we need it- Recent advances in satellite communication (e.g. Starlink and OneWeb constellations)
- Research challenges and opportunities.
