Abstract
Description
Broadband VSAT networking services, single site satellite broadband Internet
access services, and satellite trunking & backhaul services. These continue to
be the three key market segments that are the foundation of NSR' s
industry-leading assessment of all things broadband within the satellite
industry. Now in its 7th edition, NSR' s Broadband Satellite Markets study
provides the most in-depth analysis of where these markets are heading in the
coming ten years and offers detailed forecasts for each market broken out into
seven distinct regional assessments. Further, NSR has incorporated new
features into this latest edition of the study to provide ever more value to
the industry as a whole.
While single site satellite broadband Internet access services continue to
attract the most attention in the industry, the classic broadband VSAT
networking market for corporate and government clients in fact generates more
revenue and remains the cornerstone of the broadband satellite industry. North
America accounted for the largest fraction of installed and operational
two-way broadband VSAT sites in 2007. However, other markets are growing
rapidly, and NSR expects that Asia could outpace North America within six to
seven years given the strong growth coming from government USO, rural
connectivity and educational networks.
Some small glitches aside, 2007 was truly an impressive year for single site
satellite broadband services and not for the numbers alone. North America
continues to have (and will through 2017) the largest number of subscribers
for satellite broadband and is also the center of a number of the biggest
moves in the industry in the last year, not the least of which being the
announcement for the ViaSat-1 satellite. The industry' s eyes are now focused
on WildBlue and what course of action it will finally take for guaranteeing
its future growth. And in Europe, Eutelsat' s plans to launch its own Ka-band
satellite in its growing competition with SES Astra will be equally important
as a second success for single site satellite broadband Internet access
services in Europe will almost certainly lead to new efforts, and new
spot-beam satellites, for other regions of the world in the coming years.
In its latest assessment of the satellite trunking & backhaul market, NSR has
taken the new step of incorporating data from its Wireless Backhaul via
Satellite, 2nd Edition study into its assessment of trunking services for
ISPs, Internet cafes, and other clients. A detailed assessment of cellular and
wireless backhaul services will continue to be found in the Wireless Backhaul
via Satellite, 2nd Edition study; however, the addition of the core site and
leased capacity data into the Broadband Satellite Markets 7th Edition study
allows NSR to provide a complete picture for this market in each region of the
world.
Major Forecast Elements of the BBSM7 Study Include:
- Broadband VSAT networking sites forecasts
- Single site satellite broadband Internet access subscriber forecasts
- Satellite trunking & backhaul site forecasts
- Service and CPE revenues for each sector
- Bandwidth usage and leased commercial capacity demand for each sector
Beyond the issues cited above, the Broadband Satellite Markets 7th Edition
study as a whole provides a much more extensive and detailed qualitative and
quantitative trend analysis of each of the three markets in the seven regions
investigated. Demand assessments are always made following a bottom-up
approach based on detailed site and subscriber data gathered by NSR on a
regional basis. Further, a detailed methodology is provided that explains the
forecasting process and all assumptions behind NSR' s projections for the
market.
The Broadband Satellite Markets 7th Edition study is one of the cornerstones
of NSR' s library of satellite industry research. These studies offer in-depth
analysis of many key aspects of the commercial satellite market, and all
studies are integrated in order to form a completely correlated set of
forecasts. In particular, the BBSM study, combined with NSR' s Global
Assessment of Satellite Demand study, provides the most detailed analysis of
the commercial satellite market available to the industry today.
