Satcom connectivity is evolving at a faster pace than ever before

03 May 2024

Fast-paced evolution within the satellite communications sector is transforming business planning. It has become vital to embrace a more adaptable, agile approach focusing on forecasting trends over the next five years not 30. Today’s satellites are not designed for longevity and this is a catalyst for the industry’s continued high-speed transformation: Starlink is already deploying the next generation and OneWeb is planning on to start the process in 2025. So the speed of change will be even faster from now on. The rapid pace of satcom advancement is matched by escalating demand for connectivity as users take advantage of the high speed, low cost options available today. LEO technology is offering bandwidth that we never dreamed about and latency levels that change the whole way of operating. Such substantial developments also bring new challenges, not least in cyber security. Network segregation is particularly important, separating vital operating systems from crew/staff communications and internet access. Increased affordability has encouraged satcom users to expand the levels of automation. Hybrid connectivity allows users to have two or more different types of satellite connection and ensures that the connection does not drop when you need it most. Read more about the rapid pace of evolution in satcom connectivity in THIS ARTICLE by Nabil Ben Soussia, Group CCO at IEC Telecom, for the leading maritime industry publication in Asia, Splash 24/7.
