The World Teleport Asscociation (WTA) released a new research report on LEO/MEO Constellations and the Teleport The next eighteen months are critical ones for the first attempt since Iridium to loft a large-scale constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites that promise to transform global communications.
Historically the Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) providers Inmarsat, Iridium and Globalstar were the only satellite operators that were providing services for the maritime market. During the last ten years the market changed and now all the major satellite operators both MSS and Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) providers are now offering maritime solutions with a range of frequencies from L-Band ( Inmarsat, Globalstar, Irdium) and C-, Ku-, Ka- and X-Bands ( All major satellite operators e.g. Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat).
GlobalData’s South Korea Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report predicts that mobile broadband services will increase at the fastest CAGR of 3.1% during 2019-2024, led by fast growing machine-to-machine (M2M) connections, projected rise in adoption of 5G services and subsequent increas
In its latest research titled, “The Space Economy Report 2019, previously named Satellite Value Chain”, Euroconsult projects that the commercial space value chain will see steady growth over the next decade, reaching US$ 485 billion by 2028. The upstream segment, which includes commercial revenues from manufacturing, launch and ground equipment is expected to increase from US$ 8 billion in 2018 to US$ 11 billion in 2028, a growth rate of four percent per year.
NSR’s Space Tourism and Travel Markets report, released today, forecasts suborbital and orbital tourist services beginning in 2020 and 2021, respectively, generating $14B in cumulative revenues by 2028. The long-awaited space tourism market is set to begin with players, investment, and technology growing to meet very high demand. Suborbital tourism will begin sooner and grow at a stronger rate, owing to greater frequency, more actors and lower ticket prices; while orbital tourism is set to expand the commercial space ecosystem in a significant way alongside government programs.
In its latest research titled, “FSS Capacity Pricing Trends,” Euroconsult details pricing for traditional C-band, Ku-band and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capacity broken out by contracts, regions, spectrum bands, and applications. The report shows that as the growth of satellite capacity on orbit slows, pricing levels per megahertz (MHz) for regular capacity and per megabits per second (Mbps) for HTS capacity have both stabilized at lower rates of decline and are projected to continue that trend through 2020.
NSR’s Commercial Satellite Ground Segment, 4th Edition (CSGS4) report, released today, forecasts global annual revenues for the Commercial Satellite Ground Segment to grow to $14.4 billion annually by 2028, with US$ 145 billion in cumulative revenue over the next decade.
Ericsson expects the global number of 5G subscriptions to top 2.6 billion within the next six years, driven by sustained momentum and a rapidly developing 5G ecosystem. The forecast is included in the November 2019 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, alongside a range of other forecasts with an end-of-2025 timeline and communications service provider insights.
