Another way to improve the link throughput would be to increase the size of the receiving antenna in order to have a higher level of energy received at the aircraft. But this is where operational constraints become apparent, as, this would lead to an unfeasible installation for a commercial or business aircraft.

Higher capacity and faster data rates make HTS a solid option for delivering data-heavy enterprise and consumer broadband applications. CAT Editors: What are some challenges that satellite networks have had to overcome to operate in some regions, for example in China or the Middle East? AC: There are certain markets that present challenging access requirements and favor local operators over foreign satellite providers.
In these types of markets, SES works with its customers and local service providers to address these challenges and meet their business objectives. CAT Editors: What do you see as the biggest challenge for satellite providers to deliver speeds to the aviation industry that matches those on the ground?
AC: Passenger expectations for in-flight connectivity have risen over the last several years; flyers now want the same level of connectivity in the air as they have on the ground, with access to all of their applications and services. However, a growing number of those services require data rates that traditional wide beam satellites are unable to provide — streaming video or cloud-based file transfers, for example — and as more and more passengers bring more and more devices on board, the capacity of traditional satellites is being pushed to the limit.

Tags: Yahsat. It really does depend on the unique requirements of the end-user. Quite frankly, I do not believe that the end-user cares too much whether their system is L-band, C-band, Ku-band or Ka-band. What is most important is the quality and cost of service. In some instances, Ka-band may not be the optimal solution. What is likely is that vessel operators will need to rely upon multiple connectivity technologies.
This could bode well for Intelsat and its upcoming EpicNG system which will support C-, Ku- and Ka-band frequencies in wide and spot beam configurations. Although the beams will deliver similar capacity to GX, the system is not going to be a global one. In fact, only the satellite at 29E will cover the North Atlantic shipping routes. The satellite covering Europe, Middle East and Africa is likely to be utilised for land mobile and aeronautical business.

Lack of Backup In the Ku-band world, there are multiple satellite operators. Cost of Satellites Ka-band satellites tend to be more expensive than Ku-band satellites. Advantages Unused Spectrum Unlike lower frequencies such as Ku-band and C-band, Ka-band satellite services are not yet heavily subscribed. Less Interference Ka-band typically has the upper hand over Ku-band when it comes to interference.
