Broadband satellite keeps getting bigger........................... skyreport.com Research Firm Predicts Big Market For Broadband Satellite June 23, 1998 According to strategic research from Frost & Sullivan, corporate take-up of broadband satellite technology to support enterprise networks will help to drive the market to $9.14 billion in worldwide service revenues in 2004 alone. The emergence of the new broadband systems will be a bonanza for manufacturers of satellites and satellite earth stations, the research firm said in its report "World Broadband Satellite Service and Equipment Markets." Frost & Sullivan estimated that cumulative investment in broadband satellites will reach $18.72 billion from 1998 to 2004. Moreover, cumulative investment in ground systems is forecasted to reach $7.06 billion from 1998 to 2004. While widespread deployment of geostationary and low-Earth orbit Ka-band satellites will not occur until early in the next decade, a market is already beginning to emerge through conventional satellite technology. The best example of this emergence is the growing use of satellites by Internet service providers (ISPs) outside the United States. These ISPs use a satellite link to bypass the multiple router hops and overseas fiber bottlenecks that normally would obstruct data communications. Technologies reviewed in the report include cable modems, DSL, ATM, ISDN, frame relay, TCP/IP, FSS, LMDS, WLL, Teledesic, SkyBridge, Spaceway, Cyberstar, Astrolink, Lockheed Martin, Hughes, Motorola, Loral, Boeing, Intelsat, Astra, PanAmSat and Eutelsat.
