NSR predicts big gains for VSAT, satellite broadband, backhaul markets by 2021


In the 11th Edition of its Broadband Satellite Markets report, NSR expects that the next decade will be very good for the backhaul, satellite broadband, trunking, and VSAT markets- as in, $9.1 billion worth of good.

The NSR report predicts that there will be more than 5.2 million subscribers of satellite broadband Internet and almost 2.9 million enterprise very small aperture terminal (VSAT) sites installed worldwide by the time 2021 rolls around.

According to NSR, the high-throughput satellites (HTS) launched into orbit above North America are finally showing their effect on 2012's growth curve for satellite broadband Internet access services. NSR believes these services will exert greater influence in America during the next year and a half. In turn, this will boost Western Europe, Latin America, and other regions.

The NSR report also covers the future of the enterprise VSAT market. According to the analysts, the Latin American and Asian markets will exceeded North America and other mature markets in terms of the size of their installed VSAT bases.

NSR further expects that backhaul services and IP trunking will also enjoy significant growth as services transition to provisioning with HTS and O3b capacity. The migration will provide new capacity at a much more affordable price compared to legacy services on the older C- and Ku-bands.
