Emulation of geo effect at a lower altitude for consistent data transmission and lower overall latency
Very high elevation angles from points at temperate latitudes
Exceptionally high elevation angles at extreme latitudes, where other geo satellites fail
Over 40 degrees of angular separation from the geo arc, allowing the complete reuse of all spectrum previously allocated to geos
Operation throughout a hemisphere via a single hop. From a single point in the United States, a single station can communicate to and from everywhere in the hemisphere, greatly benefitting military applications and UAV missions
