In the market, notable trends include the growing use of High Throughput Satellites (HTS) to meet the rising demand for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming and data transfer. Another trend is the incorporation of advanced features such as Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) and advanced Forward Error Correction (FEC) techniques to improve signal reliability & efficiency. Furthermore, there is a trend toward smaller & lighter modem designs to accommodate emerging applications on the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile satellite communications.
For instance, in June 2023, Qualcomm launched new satellite IoT solutions to provide uninterrupted remote monitoring and asset tracking. The company announced two modem chipsets with satellite capability: the Qualcomm 212S Modem and the Qualcomm 9205S Modem. These modem chipsets power off-grid industrial use cases that require standalone Non-terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity or hybrid connectivity alongside terrestrial networks, and allow IoT enterprises, developers, ODMs, and OEMs to harness real-time information and insights to manage business projects.
Furthermore, the market is seeing an increase in the demand for satellite modems that include built-in cybersecurity features to address growing concerns about data security and privacy. Overall, these trends represent a continuous evolution in satellite modem technology to meet the increasing demand for high-speed, reliable, and secure satellite communication solutions across various industries & applications.
