Space traffic study, 3rd edition assesses the total volume of data transmitted to/from space, across four main segments.
The report also provides recommendations for cloud service providers, satellite operators and ground segment providers to benchmark current connectivity roadmaps and ensure future investments are aligned with demand.
It is based on several sources:
Key questions answered in this report:
- How do satellite communications and earth observation data traffic volumes compare?
- Are data volumes growing or shrinking compared to previous assessments?
- What are the near-term challenges for increased data consumption?
- Just how much data does “space tourism” need?
- What are the trends with data pricing?
Who should purchase this report:
- Strategy, planning, and business intelligence teams within ground segment players
- Cloud providers exploring the satellite and space sector.
- End-users looking to benchmark their current connectivity roadmaps
- Investors looking to understand space data traffic volumes
NSR difference – what sets this report apart from our competition?
NSR, an Analysys Mason company, has undertaken research across the entire space and satellite ecosystem – satellite communications usage, earth observation, satellite launches, and much much more. Leveraging this broad research base over the past two decades, NSR is in the unique position to provide complete data usage trends across this range of applications and use cases over the coming decade. This report enables satellite operators, cloud providers and more to make future investment decisions on quantifiable trends and analysis with data that is built from the ground up – data that is not available anywhere else.
