The Latin America broadband satellite market is growing at a steady rate. These days, it is showing a potential high growth because of higher available capacity. Today, players are competing with low-cost VSAT terminals with the Ku- and Ka-band capacities that focus on Internet and OTT/Video streaming services. These are all brought about by High Throughput Satellites (HTS) satellites entering the region during the last three years.

Long, long ago, when commercial teleport companies were a new thing, they had a terrific business model that offered access to the satellite network.  They leased transponder capacity long-term, sliced and diced it up and served it out to customers – initially for broadcast TV and then for a gradually expanding set of applications from corporate data networks to the internet.  Margins were good and the market was in growth mode.

The recurring themes running through the three European Conferences (World Satellite Business Week in Paris, IBC in Amsterdam and VSAT and Next Generation Satellite Applications in London) durig the month of September, were the need for flexibility and the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations.

Flexibility in manufacturing and flexibility in service offerings.
