“It’s Alive!” How Innovation Enables Teleport Success in a Changing Video Distribution Market
WTA has released its newest research report: “It’s Alive!” How Innovation Enables Teleport Success in a Changing Video Distribution Market. The report is free for WTA Members and available for purchase by others. Click here to get the report.
About the Report:
 Broadcast distribution was the original satellite services market band its growth powered the first great expansion of the teleport industry. Then came developments on the ground that changed the tune: the rise of anytime-anywhere consumption of TV, high-resolution streaming services exploiting higher-speed, lower-cost terrestrial connectivity, and the cloud and content distribution networks as alternatives for distribution. But the trends hitting the revenues of satellite operators have not necessarily made themselves felt in the teleport business. Innovative operators have changed their investment strategies, revamped technology and operations, built new expertise in-house and effectively targeted today’s broader range of content origination and distribution companies as customers. In this report, WTA details the major shifts in the broadcast distribution market and how savvy teleport operators have adapted to radical change to sustain and grow their businesses.

Growth Opportunities in Satellite-Cellular Integration
Satellite and cellular networking technologies have evolved in parallel over decades to create conditions for significant growth in the satellite backhaul business. Once confined primarily to fulfilling regulatory requirements to serve remote areas and supporting government disaster relief efforts, satellite backhaul is now widely viewed as a commercially viable business that can help the data-centric cellular industry continue its worldwide expansion. In this report, based on input from 10 subject-matter experts representing satellite service and technology providers, WTA examines how satellite and cellular have converged to create this opportunity, and characterize the noteworthy trends, markets and challenges ahead.

Building a Better NOC
The NOC is the beating heart of satellite and teleport operators’ networks that deliver value to customers. As the fundamental building block for a successful operation, it is where customer services are managed and triaged; it is where transmission equipment is monitored and controlled; and it is where third party suppliers are coordinated. It is also where service incidents and operational changes are dealt with and all key operational activities are carried out. For this report, nine teleport operators and four technology providers were interviewed, providing in-depth one-to-one discussions on a broad range of Network Operations Center (NOC) related topics.
