Broadband Satellite Solutions Are Poised for the Mainstream According to Frost & Sullivan.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2001 As the constraints of current network connections weigh on weigh on Verb to be oppressive or burdensome to: the expectations that weigh so heavily on diplomats' wives Verb 1. users, many will turn to satellite-based solutions, which can provide higher throughput. After a tentative start, markets for broadband satellite solutions will show impressive growth as this technology truly enters the mainstream. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. recent research by Frost & Sullivan (www.telecom.frost.com) found in "World Broadband Satellite Equipment Markets," the total market reached $300 million in 2000 and is expected to reach $1.6 billion in 2007. Although broadband satellite technologies offer advantages over many land-based network solutions, they still face competition from emerging solutions. "Broadband wireless See wireless broadband. has penetrated the marketplace," says Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Jose del Rosario. "With the lower costs associated with deploying a broadband wireless network, this technology poses a serious threat to the satellite platform." Meanwhile, low-cost, high-capacity fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber will continue to steal other prospective customers from broadband satellite. "In the caching, streaming, and multicasting markets, terrestrial-based solutions are also being developed to alleviate Internet congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. ," says del Rosario As competition intensifies among satellite providers, market participants must tap new markets to stay alive. The presence of large rural populations in the globe offers important opportunities for broadband satellite providers if companies can overcome challenges inherent to those markets.
