Satellite Communications

Although satellite will play a smaller role than cellular in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, it will be an irreplaceable role. While cellular networks cover the majority of the points of presence (POPs) on the planet, remote locations and under-served locations will always remain. Satellite is currently the only technology that can quickly a...

Regions around the world have varyling levels of terrestrial communication coverage and service, resulting in varying degrees of connectivity for both populated and remote locations. Thus, globally, many users remain unserved or underserved by terrestrial technologies. This leads to distinct growth opportunities for satellite services which can br...

Terrestrial, landline, and cellular communication services have varying levels of points of presence (POPs) or population coverage for any individual region or country. This leaves some portion of the region unserved or underserved by terrestrial communications, which in-turn leaves potential for satellite services which can bridge the gaps and re...

Mobile connections have surpassed fixed/land line connections in a relatively short amount of time (less than a decade). Mobile connections continue to increase, not just from users which did not previously have a cellular device, but users now adopting multiple devices. Additionally, users with fixed communications may be likely to switch to mob...

The research covers VSAT satellite technology that is used as backhaul for cellular 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies. Satellite technology is currently being used globally to backhaul cellular services in locations that have sub-par landline infrastructure and geographical barriers (distance or harsh terrain), in addition to being used as a backup for o...

This research study covers the North American Satellite very small aperture terminal (VSAT) market for all communication services except for video distribution to enterprise users. VSAT is a term that is loosely used to describe any fixed satellite terminal that provides one-way or two-way communications. This research includes market base year an...

Satellite imaging services are high resolution images obtained from orbiting satellites around the globe, and are of varying levels of detail and precision. This market insight provides an overview of the trends and opportunities for commercially owned and operated satellite imaging providers.
