If there is something certain in the current satcom market, it’s that Video is stagnating, and Data is the future growth driver. However, many satellite operators are still cautious adopting HTS.
Leveraging the power of cloud computing and Big Data, data analytics is expected to add value across a range of applications. Will the drive for digitization spanning these market verticals suffice to meet industry expectations of customer demand? While the opportunity for satellite-based Big Data lies largely in the need for insight into mobile, remote.
