Qualcomm Launch Story The Qualcomm satellite, also known as the Q-sat, was a groundbreaking technology in the field of satellite communications. Launched in the early 2000s, it marked a significant milestone in the evolution of satellite communications and paved the way for a new era of high-speed and reliable satellite-based communication services. The development of the Qualcomm satellite began in the late 1990s, when Qualcomm, a leading technology company, realized the potential of satellite-based communications for providing high-speed internet services to remote and underserved areas. To achieve this goal, Qualcomm invested heavily in research and development to design a cutting-edge satellite that would be capable of providing high-speed, low-latency, and reliable internet connectivity. The Q-sat was designed as a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite, which meant it would be positioned at a relatively low altitude above the Earth's surface, compared to traditional ge
