BID: $ANS-299.06
Northern Sky Research today released its newest market survey and
forecast report "Satellite-WiFi Convergence: A Developing Model for
Broadband Access". This new report examines the technical and economic
viability of offering converged satellite-WiFi services in broadband
access and content distribution markets in each region.
The report concludes that disappointing growth in the satellite access
market has led satellite companies to pursue alternative models of
broadband service delivery. WiFi technology is extremely low cost,
widely deployed and a critical element of telecom growth.
By integrating WiFi access technology with a satellite backbone link,
satellite service providers can expand the reach of ubiquitous
satellite coverage, spread out the cost of the satellite solution, and
provision low-cost broadband service to anywhere in the world.
With over 1,000 satellite-based hot spots already deployed and the
market projected to reach 95,000+ hot spots in the next 5 years, it is
clear that satellite-WiFi integration will be an important component of
satellite broadband revenue.
Samples of key segments in this market include Internet access to rural
and remote communities, enterprise and military video applications,
maritime deployments, Internet access to passenger trains, and VoIP
over WiFi technology.
