The Latest Trends In The Satellite Communications Industry
Dublin, Ireland (SPX) May 09, 2006 Research and Markets has announced the addition of The Basics of Satellite Communications, Second Edition to their offering. The satellite industry, like all sectors of the telecommunications and computer markets worldwide, is in the process of rapid change in terms of technology, applications, regulation, and economics. In light of this pattern of rapid change, one must strive to stay up to date on the major trends in the satellite industry, as doing so is key to understanding the future evolution of technology as well as the ensuing market changes. The satellite field, now more than 40 years old, is still growing steadily in key service areas despite the success and technical advancement other network technologies such as of fiber optic networks. In many ways, satellite and fiber-optic capabilities complement each other as much as they compete for markets. The current success of satellites is primarily in the fixed satellite services, broadband and Internet-related satellite services, and broadcast satellite services. Often the areas of greatest market success for satellite systems represent sectors where the satellites can provide broadcast services, large-scale networking and/or connectivity to rural and remote areas. It is such areas were satellites truly excel. It is also believed that satellites will in the future still play a key role in providing mobile services despite the setbacks that came with early market failures in the land mobile service sectors. The Basics of Satellite Communications explains the fundamentals of communications satellite systems, covering not only the technology of the industry but its other key elements as well. Intended for the non-engineer or those just starting in the field, this handbook examines the evolution of spacecraft and communications payloads, earth-station antennas and user terminals, launch systems, satellite standards and regulatory processes, the key institutions, the economics and financial aspects, and the various services now offered and those anticipated, seeking finally to provide some understanding of future technology and systems yet to come. In the fast-changing satellite markets, where services and technologies are not easily understood, The Basics of Satellite Communications offers a clear and understandable introduction to the field.
