Jose Del Rosario, Research Director, NSR:
Mobility Markets at a Crossroad
Across land, sea and in the
air, users of satellite increasingly demand bandwidth and services
at a faster pace than ever before. Still, MSS
systems fulfil the needs of 90% of users with reliable, low
bandwidth services such as voice and M2M applications. With future
systems including HTS in GEO/MEO/LEO intending to raise the bar via
higher throughput, will enough of a market exist to serve planes,
trains and land-mobile platforms? At the
crossroad between volume and quality of service, what will be the
impact of this junction in the market, and how will it be felt
across all mobility platforms in the region and globally?

The Australasia and Southeast
Asia video market continues to deliver remarkable growth prospects
for 2015-2018. But can these still developing markets sustain such
growth in the face of the extended reach and tumbling costs for
terrestrial OTT and cloud-based solutions?
In meantime, the ever-expanding
deployments of premium HD, 4K, live sports and event-driven TV
services require yet more satellite capacity – at least until the
terrestrial networks catch up. How can the satellite sector meet the
new consumer demands for high-quality content and distribution --
and pay the infrastructure bills?
