NEW DELHI: Satellite communications<\/a> refers to the use of satellites deployed in orbits in the space to relay signals to different points on the Earth. These signals can be in the form of video, voice, or internet. Satcom<\/a> is generally used to provide connectivity in rural and remote areas that are not served by terrestrial mobile networks. It is said that satcom can bridge digital divide and provide a global coverage.
In the world we currently inhabit, businesses are increasingly becoming virtual and according to Bosch Digital<\/a>, satellite technology, therefore plays a key role in new applications and business processes that are making IoT<\/a> a reality. Additionally Eutelsat<\/a> states, “connectivity requirements will continue to increase due to higher bandwidth demand per site, with total HTS capacity demand in 2029 estimated to reach up to 7.97 Tbps.”

Additionally Eutelsat<\/a> states, “connectivity requirements will continue to increase due to higher bandwidth demand per site, with total HTS capacity demand in 2029 estimated to reach up to 7.97 Tbps.”
\"Because satellite internet can reach almost anywhere, it is perfectly designed to deliver broadband speeds to many areas throughout the U.S. and worldwide, even in unserved and underserved regions,\" says Viasat<\/a>.
Some of the leading satcom players in the industry include SpaceX<\/a>'s Starlink internet, Bharti-backed OneWeb<\/a>, Intelsat<\/a>, Viasat, Hughes Network Systems<\/a>, Eutelsat, amongst others.
The top ten use cases of satellite communications, according to Bosch, Eutelsat, Intelsat are as follows:
Civil services:<\/strong> Satellites can connect hospitals, schools, administrations, universities via efficient and reliable, point to multipoint networks. Eutelsat expects this sector to reach $13 billion between 2019 and 2029 as countries strive to reach rural connectivity.
Banking and insurance:<\/strong> Connectivity allows access to remote offices and scalable infrastructure that can grow as businesses and clientele grow. As supply chains get increasingly complex many growing businesses are forced to handle high-risk data responsibly. Satellite connectivity allows functionality of remote financial IoT devices.
Energy and utilities:<\/strong> The need for smart grids, solar plants, and other renewable energy is slowly becoming a business reality. Without significant energy for growth, transportation, and agriculture, no country can grow. Currently our energy consumption and needs are at loggerheads with environmental concerns. Satellite connectivity when combined with new instruments and procedures, energy production can be monitored and existing sources can be safeguarded. For the same reasons, up-to-date and accurate data can be easily accessed as this world becomes increasingly equipped with satellite connectivity.
Retail and hospitality:<\/strong> Connectivity enhances employee and customer satisfaction. Satellite technology enables customers to enjoy things like fine dining and retail experiences at airports and large malls. By providing improved broadband connectivity to their consumers businesses can add satellite technology to their array of services and increase their appeal. Retail businesses once connected with analysts who predict supplier requests via a worldwide satellite system to the supplier network show real-time sales data from cash registers to distribution facilities.
Construction and mining:<\/strong> Infrastructure operations such as remotely managed construction, BTP, mining, landfills, roadways and railways construction are made possible through satellite connectivity. IoT devices powered by satellite can be used for monitoring daily processes of construction.
Agriculture:<\/strong> Optimized farming can now be ensured through satellite connectivity from far off locations thereby making remote farming a possibility as it empowers farmers with suppliers, customers and stock market prices.
Facilitating mobile banking and retail:<\/strong> Satellite for long has been serving as the backbone of mobile-point-of-sales applications and wireless ATMs that keep many businesses running in the current world. Satellite connectivity in the world of retail and mobile banking has ensured that all our urgent financial needs and retail needs are met and satisfied in a prompt way.
Transforming transport infrastructure:<\/strong> Broadband connectivity on trains, cargo vehicles and maritime vessels is a trend in the transport landscape and mobile and satellite connectivity ensures efficacy of the information that is exchanged in the industry.
Connecting remote assets:<\/strong> Businesses that extend to geographically remote environments depend on satellites to provide critical information often regarding supplies and other statistics that allows business owners to provide remote facility monitoring and real time asset management
Ubiquitous coverage:<\/strong> Innovative IoT applications emerge from the connectivity of intelligent devices. The potential scale of the IoT demands are on the rise and need ubiquitous network coverage between satellite operators and carrier integrated services, even in remote locations. Satellite communication has aided more IoT use cases that have now become objects of daily use for us.
These use cases of satellite communications only go to suggest that if anything, they will continue to be on the rise and will be further developed as satellite technology has enabled many businesses, applications and IoT.
