Satellite Communications

This study focuses on the 292 commercial communications satellites in current operation that have transponders in C-Band, Ku-Band, and Ka-Band. Satellite operators have announced plans to launch more than 90 new satellites over the next five years.  Because the majority of new satellite launches will be to replace retiring satellites, the number ...

The market is driven by retail sales of geospatial imaging from companies like Google and its Google Imaging service; which although free, accounts for significant advertising revenue for the company. Other major users of satellite imaging data include:  enterprises, civil engineers, and private end users. While only a handful of companies own a...

This study covers the satellite transponder market, also known as the fixed satellite services market, operating in 3 frequency bands: C, Ku, and Ka. Transponders are measured by number of transponders, revenue, and average price. Ka-band is currently at the forefront of market growth, with Ku- and C-band offering the widest coverage/install base ...

The global satellite VSAT market consists of various applications that require high-speed communications in a small, compact package. VSAT is significantly outpacing some mobile satellite handset technologies and continues to see quick adoption, market penetration, and application growth. Current VSAT applications include broadband, satellite back...

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.

Despite drastic budget cuts in the US military, satellite demand has managed to remain strong, with consistent year-over-year growth. This is due to a number of factors that are unique to satellite. The US government and military satellite market can be segmented into two subcategories: internal government-supplied satellite solutions and commerci...

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...
