The
Global VSAT Forum recently wrapped up its Ka Roundtable Assembly 2012
in London. The GVF's first industry roundtable event lasted for three
days and tackled the need for Ka-band and High Throughput Satellites
(HTS).
Nearly
100 influential people in the satellite industry attended Ka
Roundtable Assembly 2012. Several roundtable sessions discussed the
emergence of HTS with specific interest in the new Ka-band.
According
to the discussions, the satellite industry is experiencing a series
of developments that will eventually elevate satellite connectivity
to a mainstream offering. Users are now demanding HTS and Ka-band
connectivity. Satellite service providers have responded by innovating technologies used in its space and ground segments that can provide higher amounts of bandwidth.
HTS
can provide plenty of bandwidth at cheaper cost. It also allows the
use of smaller terminals in conjunction with advancing technologies.
In
addition, Ka-band satellite connectivity has been confirmed to be a viable option despite
issues concerning spectrum and rain fade. Technological innovations
in the industry are expected to reduce rain fade, enable higher data
rates, and permit service providers to extend improved service level
agreements to customers worldwide.
