Two Problems w/ Satellite
There is a whole industry –outside of satellite -providing products, like AcceleNet,
to overcome high latency, low bandwidth, problematic network connections
Very High Capacity SATCOM
Conventional Broadcast centric Broadest reach Broad antenna
beams Flexible services Ground
“conformity” Key unit:
“transponder”
ViaSat-1 Data centric High demand
markets Small “spot” beams Unicast, regional Ground “optimized” Key unit “Gbps”
Satellites designed for a different MISSION
Today’s Commercial Ka-band Capacity Is Over 10x Military Ka-band …
