"Data streams are like rivers. If the bandwidth is narrow, the river floods! Encrypt your signals, or someone might eavesdrop on your selfies."

Bandwidth

Think of it as the size of the pipe. Higher bandwidth means more data can be sent at once, increasing your data rate.

Latency

The time it takes for a signal to travel from Earth to the satellite and back. It's a delay caused by the vast distance of space.

Signal Integrity

How clear the signal is. Bad weather or low power can add 'noise', corrupting the data. Boost power to overcome it!
