Who will dominate next generation satellite communications market
Abstract
The potential markets for small earth stations in satellite communications are examined, in relation to the expected competition picture for U.S. and non-U.S. manufacturers. Maritime communications satellites, direct broadcasting satellites, aeronautical service satellites, and data (and business) communications satellites are expected to open up new areas of applications and expanding markets. Needed advances in technology for INTELSAT programs are outlined. Technical and economic problems to be coped with in future widespread deployment of small antennas, and areas in which U.S. government and industry cooperation would shore up the U.S. position in the future competition, are listed.
