Press Release
High THTS and O3B to Disrupt Wireless Backhaul Via Satellite Market
July 19th, 2012
Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Wireless Backhaul via Satellite, 6th Edition" by Northern Sky Research, LLC.
NSRs newly released Wireless Backhaul via Satellite, 6thEditionfinds a dramatic long term shift from legacy SCPC and TDMA systems to High Throughput Satellites (HTS) and O3b. The market shift brings threats, as well as opportunities, for market players involved in space segment capacity and end-to-end services along with companies in the equipment segment. The global satellite backhaul market is expected to reach $2.3 billion in 2021, growing almost three-fold from todays $800 million annual revenue base.
In the very short term, HTS and O3b will significantly change the wireless backhaul industry. "OPEX considerations, which have hampered market adoption of satellite solutions due to high bandwidth costs, will see a big drop. This, along with the needs of the mobile workforce, will lead to higher penetration levels in key markets for both developing and developed countries," according to the studys author Jose Del Rosario, Senior Analyst for NSR.
New programs will lead to a re-examination and an eventual swap-out of solutions currently being deployed to more cost-efficient platforms. "Apart from HTS and O3b on the space segment side, more affordable and modestly-sized picocells that lower CAPEX lead to higher adoption in terms of deployments on ground towers, various types of maritime vessels and aboard commercial aircraft," Del Rosario notes.
Wireless Backhaul via Satellite, 6thEditionprovides a strategic roadmap that anticipates market risks while preparing for impending market opportunities either as a dominant vendor or a niche player. The game change, market shift and technology disruption are qualitatively and quantitatively assessed, providing a compass for a companys strategic outlook.
