How to put satellites in orbit on my ringed world?

In my world there are rings, these rings are around 9.5 meters tall and a little around 5000 kilometres wide. Their closest point is a little over 12,000 kilometres away from the surface and under 17,000 kilometres at its farthest point. For all intents and purposes this world is the same as earth. Since the best place to put a satellite is at the equator and rings appear at the equator, this creates a problem as to have wireless communication across the globe, you need satellites. How can my people incorporate satellites in orbit? If they cannot, what alternatives to satellites can they use?
