“There has been inadequate appreciation of Satcom<\/a> in India. The technology might appear more expensive but the situation changes completely when you go to rural India; the cost increases 20 times. We must encourage private operators to do more and more in this area,” he said.
Ramachandran told that it takes about two years to launch a satellite and about half a billion US dollars of investment to buy one. However, he added that the technology is relatively cheaper than terrestrial technology (optic fibre, towers) when being considered for rural connectivity.
“Satcom at one point was very expensive but today we have high throughput satellite technology which offers 40-50 times more capacity at the same capex as compared to traditional satellite technology. I see this as a very practical way of increasing broadband connectivity at the least cost and in the quickest way,” he added.
Recently Elon Musk-run SpaceX launched 60 \"Starlink\" satellites into low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida to bring cheaper internet access to the world.
The US has got 4 million satellite terminals for broadband connectivity but India which has four times more population than the US does not have the same satellite connectivity, according the the industry statistics.
Ramachandran previously also had said that satellite communication could provide the missing link in the government's Digital India<\/a> programme to offer high speed broadband connectivity for all by speeding up access in rural and hard to reach terrain.
To some extent, VSAT has been used in rural areas for providing internet but because of policy norms, wide adoption is a challenge. Very small aperture terminal, or VSAT, is a box that is installed at the premises of an end user that connects the user's computer to a satellite signal through an antenna.
While satellites launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) can be used for satellite communication, there is also a need for private players to take lead in this area, Ramachandran said. “Satellite is a great way to reach broadband without the hassle of Right of Way (RoW),” he added.

应该鼓励私人玩家使用卫星通信:BIF
电信行业正面临巨大的压力和需要支持的卫星通信可以看作为替代解决农村连接问题,T。总裁V拉马钱德兰宽带告诉ETT印度论坛。
“升值不足卫星通信在印度。这项技术可能出现更昂贵但形势变化完全当你去印度农村;成本增加20倍。我们必须鼓励私人运营商做越来越多的在这一领域,”他说。
拉马钱德兰告知大约需要两年发射卫星和投资约十亿美元购买。然而,他补充说,技术相对比地面低技术(光纤、塔)正在考虑为农村连接。
“卫星通信一度是非常昂贵的,但今天我们有高吞吐量卫星技术在同一资本支出提供40 - 50倍的容量比传统的卫星技术。我认为这是一个非常实用的方式增加宽带连接至少成本和最快的方式,”他补充道。
最近伦Musk-run SpaceX推出60“我们”卫星送入近地轨道从卡纳维拉尔角空军基地,佛罗里达给世界带来便宜的互联网接入。
美国有400万宽带连接卫星终端,但印度比美国人口四倍没有相同的卫星连接,根据行业统计数据。
拉马钱德兰此前也曾表示,卫星通信可以提供政府的缺失的环节数字印度项目提供高速宽带连接所有通过加快访问在农村,很难达到地形。
在某种程度上,网络连线已经使用在农村地区提供互联网但是因为政策规范,广泛的采用是一个挑战。非常小的孔径终端或网络连线,前提是安装在一个盒子的最终用户将用户的计算机连接到卫星信号通过天线。
当卫星发射的印度空间研究组织(ISRO)可用于卫星通信,还有一个私人玩家需要领导在这一领域,拉马钱德兰说。“卫星是一个伟大的方式来达到宽带没有权的麻烦(行),”他补充道。
