Description
The SatCom market is expanding into new services that addresses communication needs of the terrestrial, aviation and maritime sectors. These emerging areas offer enormous tie-in opportunities between GSM and satellite, with the potential to become significant revenue generators. Are you and your company taking full advantage of these tie-ins? Find out how to, by buying visiongain’s latest report - today.

The segments of the SatCom market covered in this study refer to innovative services and products being developed that will complement those currently delivered by legacy satellite systems. This report takes a in-depth look at the most promising new segments and how they will benefit you:
  • Container tracking and security via GSM devices over satellite;
  • Vehicle tracking and security over satellite;
  • The use of personal communication devices onboard aircraft, cruise ships and ferries;
  • Crews calling using GSM phones via satellite;
  • Wireless connectivity in remote locations through GSM via satellite; and
  • Satellite radio.
Security concerns over terrorist actions are driving the development of tracking services in the automotive market. Visiongain expects a sharp rise in the number of vehicles being tracked and forecasts service revenues for the terrestrial tracking market to be worth over $50 billion by 2010 - ensure your part of it today.

Similarly, security at sea is also going to play a crucial role in the growth of container tracking services, which will see mass deployment of GSM-based terminals able to track and monitor in real-time cargo for a wide range of parameters.

On land, growing demand for telecom services in remote and rural regions of the world is creating opportunities for companies to develop and deploy satellite-based services. This market will expand rapidly as mobile operators gain access to hardware that make it possible to return a profit in their investments.

Satellite radio services that offer a wide range of adverts free programming are on the rise in the US. Services are also available in some parts of Africa and Asia, and launches are planned for Canada and Mexico. Demand for satellite-based services will lead to their introduction in other parts of the world, with a sharp rise in subscribers and revenues.

Among others, the report presents the following forecasts until 2010:
  • Installed base of containers fitted with wireless tracking devices
  • Container tracking hardware revenue growth
  • Containers tracking revenue growth
  • Regional vehicle growth pattern by type
  • World and regional satellite vehicle tracking market by installed base, and hardware and service revenues
  • Deployment of GSM satellite-based systems
  • Locations served by satellite-based technology
  • Satellite handheld terminals installed base
  • World satellite radio subscribers and revenues.
This unique 170+ page report provides in-depth analysis of the significance and impact that satellite communications will have on air, sea and land services. Drivers and barriers that exist in these markets are analysed, as are the various solutions by the leading vendors operating in these segments. Advice and recommendations on cost and pricing levels are discussed for different segments of the market.
