The UK government is initiating a £3.5m funding scheme driven by the UK Space Agency to explore satellite connectivity for remote areas lacking broadband access.
Despite advances in superfast broadband, some rural regions still face connectivity challenges, with satellites being the most viable solution due to their technical constraints.
The initiative aims to pilot three projects that utilize hybrid satellite technologies to provide affordable gigabit-capable internet, enhancing services for education, healthcare, and more.
One project will deliver portable internet solutions via vehicle-mounted terminals to assist local authorities, farmers, and emergency services in connectivity-challenged regions.
