This report examines the pressing question facing the satellite communications sector today: What impact do current, and emerging Non-GEO High Throughput Satellite (HTS) constellations have on the industry? It provides valuable insights for satellite operators and service providers, helping them understand the key messages that resonate most with end-users to improve their market positioning. The analysis covers both Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) constellations using Ku and Ka-band frequencies. These satellite systems have the potential to bring substantial connectivity to underserved regions, including oceans, challenging the traditionally GEO-centric market, which is undergoing a shift from wide-beam FSS to spot-beam GEO-HTS infrastructure.
The report does not aim to answer questions related to the viability of LEO systems or provide specific market share projections for each non-GEO HTS constellation.
