the global enterprise VSAT market provides
an analysis on the most important trends expected to impact the market outlook
from 2017-2021. Technavio defines an emerging trend as a
factor that has the potential to significantly impact the market and contribute
to its growth or decline.
Abhishek Sharma, a lead analyst from Technavio, specializing in research
on M2M and connected devices sector, says, “In the
telecommunication sector, mobile network operators and internet service
providers use VSAT technology to establish cost-effective backhaul networks.
Backhaul networks require high-speed data transfer to establish a connection
between two network operation centers or switching centers spread over a large
area.”
Technavio’s sample reports are free of charge and contain multiple
sections of the report including the market size and forecast, drivers,
challenges, trends, and more.
The top four emerging trends driving the global enterprise VSAT market according
to Technavio ICT research
analysts are:
- Cloud-based big data
services
- Increasing satellite
throughput and lower latency
- Technology upgrading in VSAT
system
- Increased availability of
advanced aerial imagery
Cloud-based big data services
Satellites generate large volumes of information in the form of images,
which can be difficult to analyze. This has created the need for data analytics
as it would provide meaning and structure to large volumes of unstructured
data. Companies realize the growing need to analyze the data generated by
satellites and are intending to enter the analytics space.
“Skybox Imaging, which was acquired by Google in 2014, launched its
fleet of LEO satellites to provide a new source for big data analysis. The
company provides high-resolution images and videos of any spot on the Earth
three times per day,” according to Abhishek.
Increasing satellite throughput and lower latency
High throughput Spacebus Neo platform developed by Thales Alenia allows
satellite operators to deliver high-speed broadband internet to end-users at an
affordable price. In countries, such as Africa, where there is low penetration
level of internet subscribers, the adoption of such platforms is high.
In the global consumer service satellite market, which generated revenue
worth USD 101 billion, the global satellite broadband segment was valued at USD
2 billion in 2014. In addition, out of more than 2.3 million global
subscribers, more than 1.5 million satellite broadband subscribers were from
the US.
Technology upgrading in VSAT system
Advances in the technology of VSAT system (HughesNet JUPITER technology)
allows optimized transponder utilization of HTS. This is done by supporting
higher modulation schemes such as 32 Amplitude and phase-shift keying (APSK).
This scenario will lead to the growth in its adoption and increase in the
capacity of use of the transponders. An improvement in the telecom network
worldwide has enhanced the uplink and downlink data speed.
Increased availability of advanced aerial imagery
High-resolution digital satellite aerial imagery has gained popularity
among government organizations, planners, developers, and engineers. The
technology helps in real-estate management, land calculations, mining
operations, road planning, and small-scale mapping for most land applications.
The information from aerial images, along with geographic information system
(GIS) mapping, is used for analysis, strategic planning, and evaluation in
engineering and urban planning.
The key vendors are as follows:
- Gilat Satellite Networks
- Hughes Network Systems
- ViaSat
- VT iDirect
