As global demand for reliable, high-speed broadband continues to accelerate, traditional satellite architectures are being pushed to their limits. At Meridian, we’re introducing a different approach: fixed-track orbits — an orbital system designed for stability, sustainability, and efficiency.
Unlike conventional moving constellations that criss-cross the Earth, fixed-track orbits operate in carefully defined lanes. This creates predictability, reduces spectrum conflicts, and lowers the risk of in-space collisions — all while delivering consistent coverage to the regions that need it most.
Our approach isn’t just theoretical. Over the past year, we’ve run extensive simulations and lab validations, confirming that fixed-track satellites can deliver up to 30% more efficient throughput while cutting ground terminal complexity nearly in half. By anchoring coverage areas and simplifying coordination, we unlock a model that’s both cost-effective for enterprises and scalable for governments and operators.
