The description provided matches that of LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites. They orbit at a distance of between 435 and 1000 miles above the Earth's surface and are used for both broadband computer and satellite phone communications. Geosynchronous satellites orbit at a much higher altitude of about 22,000 miles and are used more for applications such as remote sensing and weather forecasting. Terrestrial satellites and WiMax satellites are not valid or commonly used terms in the context of satellite communications.
