Low earth orbit (LEO)

Generally defined as an orbit between 160 kilometers (99 miles) and 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) above the Earth's surface.
Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LDVS)

LVDS is an electrical signaling protocol that can transfer digital data at very high speeds, with high common-mode noise rejection, and at low power consumption. Due to these attributes, LVDS has become a very popular digital interface for high-speed data converters and FPGAs. Furthermore, the high data transfer capabilities of LVDS enable serial interfaces in high-speed converters which greatly reduces interface complexity.
