However, particularly in remote and rural areas, access to fast, reliable connectivity has always been problematic. With the rapid digitalisation of healthcare, many providers are now turning to alternative technologies to continue to improve service levels. Traditional

Introduction Transport emissions are just one piece of the puzzle on the path to Net-Zero, however, to hit this target focus needs to be turned to how the catastrophic emissions associated with transport can be reduced. In 2019, domestic transport alone was accountable for 122 million tons of carbon dioxide (megatons), indicating that transport was
How can LEO help drive forward communities in a post-pandemic world? The performance of existing digital infrastructure throughout the two-year long pandemic was pivotal in enabling companies across the UK to continue business from home.
