Running Head: Satellite Radio Introduction Satellite radio is a more advanced substitute to terrestrial-based services. The choice of capturing radio frequencies via satellite involvement allows access to a mobile radio service. Satellite radio functions with the help of fixed-location receivers, dish antennas and signal repeaters. These commercial investments permit the listeners to enjoy hands-free communication over immense geographical areas. It provides coverage around tall buildings and bridges, in any weather, without the slightest interruption unlike terrestrial.
