Satellite Communications

NSR’s 5G via Satellite, 3rd Edition (5GvS3) report is the first and only analysis of 5G in the Satellite Communications Industry. This edition of NSR’s 5G via Satellite also examines the emerging Satellite Direct-to-Device market which has the potential to become the largest Satcom opportunity over the next decade. 

5GvS3 analyzes, both market opportunities offered by 5G (satellite capacity, equipment, new service offerings, new business models) and the implications from a technology point of view (network orchestration, Software Defined Networks, Network Function Virtualization, resource management, OSS/BSS integration, etc.).

From the transformation of infrastructure segments to the extensive use cases stimulated by 5G, NSR’s 5GvS3 forecasts demand for each specific segment of five different regions (NAM, LAM, EU, MEA, Asia) analyzed in this study through the decade.

Be it connecting the unconnected, offering ubiquitous internet for planes, ships and connected cars, or unlocking new use cases like multicasting content to edge-servers or scaling IoT platforms to global levels, the business models triggered by 5G are limitless.
