Why would you need a satellite connection in an urban environment?

There are some things that make urban IoT connectivity harder than in the open field.

- Wave paths are more complex (buildings, multi path propagation etc). Hence base stations need to be positioned more densely.

- Finding optimal locations for base stations and contracting the building/land owners is not straightforward.

- Using the less congested, licensed spectrum instead of the crowded ISM bands may be preferable in the city.
