Development Prospects of Satellite Modem Industry

Satellite Modem Overview

The modem is an electronic device that modulates digital signals to analog signals for transmission and demodulates the received analog signals to obtain digital signals. A satellite modem is a kind of modem. Compared with mobile phone modems and cable modems, the market space for satellite modems is limited. It is mainly used in the field of satellite communication to modulate and demodulate the signal transmission between Satellite Internet and ground stations.

Development Prospects of Satellite Modem Industry

At this stage, many countries in the world have raised the construction of Satellite Internet to the national strategic level, and the satellite modem market has broad development space. The quasi-entry threshold for satellite ground equipment manufacturing is relatively low, the market capacity is large, and the market competition is fierce. Globally, the United States is the world's largest manufacturer of satellite modems, accounting for more than 50% of the global market. Relevant manufacturers include st engineering methods, Comtech, Viasat, Hughes network systems, etc.

According to different data transmission speeds, satellite modems can be divided into types less than 100Mbps, between 100-400mbps, and more than 400Mbps. Among them, satellite modems with data transmission speeds between 100-400mbps are the mainstream products in the market. From the perspective of downstream applications, the downstream applications of satellite modems involve audio and video broadcasting, government, and military, commercial networks, satellite communications, etc. among others, government and military are the largest application markets of satellite modems, accounting for about 44.6%.

In recent years, with the progress of science and technology, the satellite Internet has gradually entered the era of broadband Internet. The demand for high broadband has pushed the satellite Internet industry towards higher frequencies such as Q and V. under this background, satellite modem suppliers are also actively developing modem technologies with higher data rates and launching satellite modem products that support high frequencies such as Q and V bands to comply with the market upgrading trend.

Industry analysts said that the satellite modem is one of the ground infrastructures of Satellite Internet. In recent years, with the development of the Satellite Internet industry, the market scale of satellite modems has gradually expanded. At this stage, many countries around the world are actively laying out the satellite Internet market. With the support of relevant policies, the market scale of the satellite Internet industry will be further expanded, and the satellite modem market will grow accordingly. In the future, the industry will have a broad space for development.
