Step 1: An individual uses a connected device to make a request, such as connecting to emergency services.
Step 2: The request travels from the device through a modem to a satellite dish.
Step 3: The satellite dish transmits the signal upward to an orbiting satellite.
Step 4: The satellite relays the request to a ground station that uses existing high-speed fiber to connect to a data center that houses the data and interconnections necessary to complete the request.
Step 5: The retrieved data travels the same route in reverse to connect the user to emergency services.
