A new study from Juniper Research has found that the total number of 5G connections will reach 3.2 billion by 2026; rising from 310 million in 2021. To maximise the monetisation of this significant growth in connections, it predicts that operators will accelerate investment into standalone 5G networks to best position their services to manage future capacity. Standalone 5G networks leverage next-generation technologies, such as network orchestration tools, to enable operators to monetise data-intensive use cases, like remote healthcare and mobile gaming.

New research  from Parks Associates reveals 82% of US broadband households subscribe to at least one OTT service and 58% subscribe to a traditional pay-TV service. Parks Associates today announced the release of its latest Consumer Insights Dashboard, a new ongoing service that analyzes the firm’s quarterly surveys of 10,000 US broadband households to track consumer adoption of home services, including home internet, pay-TV, and mobile services.

NSR’s Flat Panel Satellite Antenna Analysis, 6^th Edition report, released today, sees over 6M cumulative FPA shipments generating nearly $17B in equipment revenues over the next decade. The growing Non-GEO HTS Consumer Broadband market will yield nearly 5 million in shipments alone, driven by the growing number of HTS constellations expected over the next ten years.

The Satellite Industry Association (SIA) released its 24th annual State of the Satellite Industry Report, a study of the satellite industry performance. The report, produced by BryceTech, provides an overview of 2020 activity derived from proprietary surveys, in-depth public information, and independent analysis.

Highlights from the report: 

NSR’s Maritime SATCOM Markets, 9^th Edition report finds on-going challenges in some segments of the Maritime SATCOM Markets through 2022. While 2020 and 2021 continue to feel the impacts of COVID-19 in segments such as the cruise ship industry, the migration towards HTS-based services accelerates. Switching from MSS Broadband to VSAT connectivity are driving revenues in the near to medium terms.

New research from Parks Associates estimates that between 2014 and 2020, the US pay-TV industry lost over 18 million subscribers, while the broadband market has accelerated, with 40% of US broadband households receiving a standalone service. In 2020, over seven million households dropped their pay-TV services.

NSR’s latest report, Global Satellite Manufacturing and Launch Markets, 11th Edition, sees post-pandemic rebound driven by constellations, innovative technologies, and new services offerings. Over the next 10 years, satellite manufacturing and launch order volumes reach nearly 24,700.

As the Satellite Industry slowly moves past the COVID-19 downturn, NSR’s latest report, Global Satellite Capacity Supply and Demand, 18^th Edition, finds key sectors recovering strongly. Driven by Satcom and Big Data gains, in-orbit supply in Non-GEO accelerates from 304 Gbps in 2020 to 172.1 Tbps in 2030 as LEO specific programs materialize.

The satellite payloads market size is projected to grow from USD 3.7 Billion in 2021 to USD 11.3 Billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 24.8% from 2021 to 2026 acording to new research from Research and Markets. The satellite payloads market is growing at a significant rate across the world, and a similar trend is expected to be observed during the forecast period.

A 2018 study by IDG based on a survey of IT executives in developed nations showed just how far adoption of cloud computing had come.
