In general, latency via low-earth orbit satellite networks, with the possible
exception of some narrowband services, is comparable to that of terrestrial
mobile networks, and is generally unproblematic for most applications. This
goes for FemtoStar as well.

For many users, a satellite failure would likely be noticeable only as
a decrease in the network's coverage angle, while for those in the
aforementioned near-inclination regions, it might not be noticeable at

replenish its network with new satellites, either newly-launched or
