Satellite Transponders: A Global Strategic Business Report
San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 25, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn – Transponders are an important part of satellite communication as they provide satellites the ability to communicate. Growing popularity of satellite TV, particularly in the developing countries, is the primary growth driver supported by the introduction of high definition (HD) TVs. Emergence of high bandwidth consuming 3D channels with an average 40-50% higher capacity requirement as compared to a HDTV channel, is expected to provide traction to market growth. Other factors catalyzing demand include rising demand for direct radio, consumer broadband Internet services and data services.
Satellites are generally placed in different frequency bands according to their application and usage. C-band was the first band originally used for satellite communication systems that primarily finds application in telecommunication services. However, overloading on the band due to its use in terrestrial radio communication systems led to the development of Ku-band. C-band remains the widely used band, as Ku-band capacity over some regions is limited. Ku-band offers no interferences from microwave links or other communication systems, and operates with a smaller satellite dish and cheaper RF unit. While both C and Ku-band are expected to witness growth, Ku-band is anticipated to register highest growth driven by increased channel distribution, which in turn drives the satellite transponder market.
Ka-band operates at much higher frequency than Ku-band and is currently growing at rapid pace. Ka-band transponders are capable of transmitting more data than C- and Ku-band, and provide services to smaller dishes. The Ka-band transponders are largely used to provide digital television signals and consumer broadband service to the home. These services are driving growth in the Ka-band satellite transponders and are expected to continue to grow over the coming years, with oil and gas and maritime industries also planning to use the services of these transponders. Although Ku band transponders continue to be the most favored technology now and in the immediate future, lower sales base and promising benefits will enable Ka band transponders to record relatively higher growth than Ku band transponders during the analysis period.
As stated by the new market research report on Satellite Transponders, Asia-Pacific represents the largest market worldwide. Growth in the region is supported by strong economic growth, growing popularity of DTH television, high-definition TV conversion and intercontinental video transmissions. Middle East is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market led by increasing transponder capacity requirement for effective communication in the military sector. The region is forecast to grow at a compounded annual rate of 4.3% over the analysis period. Broadcast dominates the global market for satellite transponders. Launch of several new channels worldwide is resulting in growing requirement for more available capacity thereby presenting higher demand prospects for satellite transponders.
Major players covered in the report include APT Satellite Holdings Limited, Eutelsat Communications, ISRO, Intelsat SA, NEC Corporation, SES SA, Space Systems/ Loral LLC, Telesat, and Thales Alenia Space, among others.
