The World Teleport Association (WTA) released its latest research report entitled "Pros and Cons of the LEO Gateway Business." In this report, WTA examines how the explosive wave of growth in LEO constellations for broadband and Earth observation has given rise to unexpected demand for communication gateways around the world.
Teleport operators have seized many of these opportunities, because they already represent what one LEO gateway buyer called “high-quality real estate” – secure, frequency-cleared locations with uninterruptible power, high-bandwidth terrestrial connectivity and staff experienced in systems operation and maintenance.
Through interviews with operations executives at teleports and satellite operators, technology companies and constellation developers, WTA looks at the requirements for entry into the gateway business and its long-term value and limitations. The report is free for WTA Members and available for purchase by others.
