Dagmar Joswig from DHL highlights the growing demand for digital solutions, accelerated by the pandemic, to create transparent supply chains. Advanced logistics require connectivity, yet 80% of Earth’s surface lacks cellular coverage, impeding visibility. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites present a solution, offering global coverage and low-latency internet without extensive ground infrastructure. They enhance real-time data transmission, benefiting logistics and supply chain efficiency. Companies like SpaceX and Amazon are leading the charge in deploying LEO satellites, which could transform global connectivity and operations, especially in remote regions.
