DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/146298/bsat1_the_new_b) has announced the addition of the "B-SAT1 - The New Broadband Satellite Revolution" report to their offering.
It began in 2010 and it's already gained an unstoppable momentum. Welcome to the new era of highly broadband Internet access by satellite. Previously Internet-by-satellite was rightly regarded as the poor relation of most connections, with upload bandwidths in the hundreds of kbps regimes (or less) and download bandwidths not much higher. But this is now set to change - and change dramatically. And some of the engines enabling this change already exist: the Hylas1 and Ka-SAT spacecraft are now in orbit and Ka-SAT's total throughput is 70 Gbps. This is a new situation and it means that many who have previously suffered being on the wrong side of the digital divide can now gain access to the Internet at around or above 10 Mbps bandwidths i.e. comparable with or even better than many current cabled connections.
And it's getting even better because spacecraft with transponders capable of 100 Gbps-plus (total throughput) overall bandwidths will be launched over the next few years. Examples include ViaSat1 launched in October 2011 (130Gbps), several Inmarsat satellites, Jupiter 1, MegaSat and Hylas2. Major OEMs such as Boeing, EADS Astrium and Space-Systems Loral (SS Loral) are building these spacecraft.
The K/Ka microwave and millimeter-wave bands are currently used with the downlinks centered around 20 GHz and the uplinks centered around 30 GHz - but TeraBit would use the much higher (and much more technologically demanding) Q and V-bands.
This new report from Engalco provides extensive data on shipments, average selling prices and total available market data for the ground-based (consumer) transceivers, covering the 2011 to 2019 time scale. B-SAT1A segments eleven geographic regions and also the following three overall consolidated groups:
- Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and N. Africa, Central Europe, Western Europe (collectively termed Europe, Middle East and Africa or EMEA).
- South East Asia, China and N.E. Asia, South Asia, Russia and Central Asia.
- Oceana and Pacific, Latin America and North America.
