New WTA Research Report: LEO/MEO Constellations and the Teleport

New York City, January 7, 2020--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. 

OneWeb is leader of the pack of LEO constellations seeking to deliver low-priced, low-latency connectivity everywhere and its success could have major market impacts for GEO satellite operators and teleport operators. Already, LEO operators are in serious deal-making mode with operators of ground segment to provide the gateways they need to manage and provide access to their constellations.

At a moment when most of that impact is still to come, we seek answers from LEO constellations in development, GEO operators, teleport operators and the examples of Iridium, Globalstar and Thuraya integration into the business model of teleport operators. In LEO/MEO Constellations and the Teleport, WTA investigates the history and current status of the sector through interviews with the senior executives of large and small teleport operators, technology experts and operators of LEO, MEO and GEO fleets.

LEO/MEO Constellations and the Teleport is available free for WTA Members and for purchase by others. Click here to get the report. Members may directly download the report by following this link.
