Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit
(from geo = Earth + synchronous = moving at the same rate).

A satellite in geosychonous equatorial orbit (GEO) is located directly above the equator, exactly 22,300 miles out in space. At that distance, it takes the satellite a full 24 hours to circle the planet. Since it takes Earth 24 hours to spin on in its axis, the satellite and Earth move together. So, a satellite in GEO always stays directly over the same spot on Earth. (A geosynchronous orbit can also be called a GeoSTATIONARY Orbit.)

 
Footprints

Because they're so far away, GEO satellites have a very broad view of Earth. For instance, the footprint of one EchoStar broadcast satellite covers almost all of North America.
