Satellite Communications On-The-Move (SOTM) in Asia Pacific has changed from defense-driven, mechanically steered systems to flexible, dual-use solutions that make use of commercial satellite infrastructure. A lot of the early adopters were military, and countries like China, India, Japan, and Australia spent money on mobile SATCOM for command, border surveillance, and maritime security. The growth of high-throughput satellites (HTS) and new low-Earth orbit (LEO) and medium-Earth orbit (MEO) constellations has made it possible for defense and civilian uses, such as trains, UAVs, maritime fleets, and emergency response in remote or archipelagic areas, to have high-bandwidth, low-latency connections.
Some of the most important trends are the merging of defense and commercial SATCOM, the use of low-SWaP electronically steerable antennas (ESAs) with multi-orbit connectivity, and the move into mobility sectors that are not defense-related. Strategies in the area focus on building partnerships with other businesses in the area, creating modular and carrier-neutral designs, positioning for both commercial and military use, differentiating technology, and making the supply chain more resilient. There is a lot of competition in both the defense and civil sectors, with global OEMs, regional specialists, and satellite operators all fighting for business. At the same time, software and network orchestration capabilities are becoming more important for hardware to work together to provide reliable, integrated SOTM solutions.

China is quickly improving its SATCOM On-The-Move (SOTM) capabilities to achieve its strategic goals of communications sovereignty, resilience, and anti-jamming performance. There aren't many public deployments yet, but regulatory changes like China Unicom's license for satellite mobile services and the growth of LEO constellations show that mobile-capable links are ready to go between vehicles, drones, ships, and remote areas. Some important trends are the combination of terrestrial 5G/6G with satellite connectivity, the use of low-SWaP electronically steerable antennas for multi-orbit operation, and the possibility of "terminal + capacity" solutions that combine hardware and network access. China has a strong aerospace and research and development base at home, with state-backed companies, telecom operators, and universities leading the way. China is positioning itself to become both a consumer and exporter of SOTM solutions, especially to Belt & Road or allied markets. However, competition is mostly internal and favors indigenous technology.
