Enhanced Compression Technology And Digitization Is Improving The Efficiency Of Satellite Transponders

[Press Release]

The satellite transponder market has experienced a series of technological advancements over recent years, resulting in more content being transmitted on each satellite transponder. The increased demand for DTH, digital television, UAV communications, consumer broadband and 3D television markets combined with increased investment in military satellite applications for communication and GPS tracking and government secure communication has resulted in strong growth in the satellite transponder market despite the recession.

By 2017, the global demand for C and Ku-band satellite transponders is forecast to total 7,840.36 MHz TPEs. The continued advancements in technology with regard to compression and digitalization within satellite transponders has resulted in much more content being transmitted on each transponder. Strong demand for satellite television in the developing countries has ensured that despite improved efficiencies within transponders, strong growth has been reported. The necessity for increased bandwidth for 3D channels and high definition television has resulted in the need for a forty to fifty percent increase in bandwidth capacity; a major driving factor within the satellite transponder market. The increased demand for transponders in the telecommunications sector for cellular backhaul and government communications has also driven increased demand for transponder sales.

The largest regional market for satellite transponders is Asia Pacific. Demand has remained relatively strong due to the low penetration of pay TC across the region and the subsequent growth in the demand for intercontinental video transmission and DTH TV. The wide cultural diversity between countries positioned in the Asia Pacific region has resulted in a wide variation in DTH services demand. Media companies traditionally operating in the developed world are seeking new investments and opportunities in the Asia Pacific region in order to tap into forecast growth in media services.

The fastest expanding end-use segment within the satellite transponder market is trunking applications, recording 5% CAGR growth during recent years.

The largest companies operating in the global satellite transponder market are Thales Alenia Space, APT Satellite Holdings Limited, Boeing Satellite Systems International, Inc., EADS Astrium, Eutelsat Communications, Horizon Satellite Services FZ LLC., Indian Space Research Organization, Intelsat (Luxembourg) S.A, Intersputnik International Organization of Space Communications, Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems, Loral Space & Communications Inc., NEC TOSHIBA Space Systems Ltd., Orbital Sciences Corp., Russian Satellite Communications Company, Satelites Mexicanos S.A. de C.V., SES S.A. and The Arab Satellite Communication Organization.
