A Satellite, in Dunreith, is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavour, and such artificial satellites differ from natural satellites like moon. The first and historically most important application for communications satellites, was in intercontinental long distance telephony. There has been some decline in the use of satellites for fixed telephony in the late 20th century. There are also some regions where landline telecommunications are rare to nonexistent. There are also many other applications of satellites in Dunreith like satellite television, mobile satellite technologies, satellite radio, etc. Communications satellites are also used for military communications such as global command and control systems.
