“The construction of NGSO (non-geostationary orbit) satellite constellations by market participants to offer services to the maritime industry is changing the dynamics of the maritime SATCOM sector,” said Ehrar Ahamed Shariff, Aerospace & Defense Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “This trend will benefit maritime customers during the next three to five years by providing greater bandwidth, low-latency connectivity, and more SATCOM options.”
Shariff added: “Digitalization is essential for crew connectivity, safety, performance monitoring, and operational efficiency for connected ships and vessels. Further, advancement in maritime SATCOM will enable fifth-generation (5G) coverage at sea, providing ubiquity, lowering the cost of maritime SATCOM service, and improving the value proposition of very-small-aperture terminal (VSAT) services in the maritime sector.”
To reap the benefits of the expanding maritime SATCOM industry, market participants should:
- Investigate the connectivity needs and spending capabilities of fleet operators, cruise charters, and ship owners to provide tailored SATCOM services that meet their needs while staying within budget.
- Develop terminals and custom solutions for the marine industry by leveraging their partnership with NGSO and network operators.
- Consider strategic partnerships and acquire ICT companies that can analyze marine data and cybersecurity companies that can help secure their services.
