Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medium earth orbiting (MEO) satellites are commonly used for WAN data connections as they offer a higher bandwidth than LEO satellites and a lower latency than HEO satellites. LEO satellites are typically used for communication purposes such as telephony and GPS, while HEO satellites are used for scientific purposes and space exploration. OO and PO satellite systems do not exist.
