Satellite communication (SATCOM) is becoming an increasingly important factor in everything from the entertainment and science sectors to advanced military usage.

In fact, the Global Satellite Communication Market was valued at $39.14 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach more than $73billion by 2027.

Like so much of contemporary technology, the SATCOM sector is digital-driven with specialized software defining how they perform and guiding their communications capabilities.

As it turns out, Moore’s Law has generally held true for all areas of technology involving digital processing, including computing, communications, video games and even digital entertainment systems.

Moore’s Law predicted a doubling of performance every 18 months. This holds true for both private and military SATCOM operations.

Truth is, technological innovations in satellites and SATCOM enable the majority of advancements in the space industry. Over the past few years, the most significant satellite trends include small satellites or smallsats, especially NanoSats, that drive the next generation of satellite capabilities.

The low manufacturing cost of smallsats is paving the way for the mass production of satellites.

Satellite Internet of Things (IoT) is another major trend enabling unprecedented connectivity across industries and empowering 5G and upcoming 6G capabilities. Simultaneously, satellite manufacturers and operators are bringing technological innovations to ground stations as well as orbital services.

Despite the roll-out of terrestrial networks to many parts of the world, there are many regions that remain unconnected which rely on satellite connectivity. It is either physically not possible to connect users at sea or in the air except via satellite or there is no business case to justify the costs to roll-out fiber to remote, sparsely populated areas.

Consequently, satellite technology has a key role in enabling new applications and business processes that are making the IoT a reality.

In other words, SATCOM brings ubiquitous coverage to the planet allowing for a new breed of innovative IoT applications to emerge from the connectivity of billions of intelligent devices.

There’s also the element of reliability that SATCOM brings to the world. In an era of increased communications traffic, maintaining a high level of service reliability is always a key requirement for effective IoT deployments.

Carrier integrated providers work with a satellite provider with a reliable network that caters to applications such as remote asset monitoring ensuring reliable, always-on connectivity.

Digitized payloads, propulsion systems, and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) enable satellites to perform more complex functions autonomously. Thanks to increasing government and private investments, startups working on satellite manufacturing, operations, and services are laying the foundations for a new age of intelligent satellites.

One of the top SATCOM trends this year has been the demand for Very High Throughput Satellites (VHTS). Interest in satellite-based mobile and broadband communications is surging and GEO satellite network providers respond by increasing their strength and throughput capabilities.

Cybersecurity in not exclusively earthbound.

In fact, some would argue that the greatest cybersecurity challenges lie in space. That’s because almost every aspect of modern society depends heavily on networks and telecommunications systems.

Additionally, a plethora of  information and communication technology (ICT) relies on data and space infrastructure.

This threat constitutes a serious danger for terrestrial infrastructures as well as a threat to the economic development of the society.

Space systems, ranging from GEO/MEO/LEO/HEO satellites, deep space system, to mission control centers, are frequently the target of cyberattacks. Despite the space industry’s technical sophistication, their cybersecurity efforts have lagged behind that of other high–technology sectors. Evidenced by the prevalence of vulnerabilities and attack vectors that go unchecked, space systems ranging from CubeSats/Micro Satellite to sophisticated rovers have considerable cybersecurity challenges.
