Market Report Description

The Global Satellite Modem Market size is expected to reach $952.2 million by 2028, rising at a market growth of 15.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

A satellite modem or sat modem is a modem that uses a communications satellite as a relay to establish data transfers. The primary purpose of a satellite modem is to convert an input stream of bits to a radio wave and vice versa. Some devices that have simply a demodulator (and no modulator, allowing data to be downloaded solely via satellite) are also known as "satellite modems." These gadgets are used to access the Internet through satellite (in this case uploaded data is transferred through a conventional PSTN modem or an ADSL modem). It takes more than a satellite modem to establish a channel of communication.

Additionally, satellite antennae and frequency converters are required for the establishment of a satellite link. Data to be communicated are transmitted to modems from data terminal equipment. The intermediate frequency (IF) output of the modem is typically 50-200 MHz; however, the signal is occasionally modulated straight to the L band.

In the majority of instances, the frequency must be transformed with an upconverter before amplification and transmission. Depending on the modulation technique employed, a modulated signal is a sequence of symbols, or forms of data conveyed by a corresponding signal state, such as a bit or a few bits.

Recovering a symbol clock (synchronizing a local symbol clock generator with a distant one) is one of the most essential responsibilities of a demodulator. Similarly, a signal received from a satellite is initially down-converted, followed by demodulation by a modem, and finally handled by data terminal equipment. The LNB is typically supplied with 13 or 18 V DC through the solution providers by the modem.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial influence on the expansion of this sector. During the pandemic, the demand for this market was greatly bolstered by the increase in demand for satellite communication solutions across several industries. In addition, the worldwide telecommunications industry has begun deploying satellite modem solutions, which is anticipated to boost the expansion of the satellite modem market study post-pandemic.

Market Growth Factors

Data Connectivity at High Speeds Is Becoming More Important

Numerous end-user sectors, including those in the maritime, oil and gas, transport, communications, and education, among others, have increased their need for real-time and high-speed communication, which has led to an increase in the demand for sophisticated high-speed satellite modems. Users are now able to send massive quantities of data effectively due to the satellite modem industry's ongoing advancements. The speed and data connectivity rates that are also available onshore are not available to offshore teams.

Increasing Leo Satellite and Constellation Launches

A lot of businesses in this industry have suggested or are putting into practice plans to create satellite constellations, while CubeSats and other tiny spacecraft are also gaining popularity. The rising popularity of GPS is a key factor in the expansion of LEO and MEO satellites. It is now a crucial component of the satellite communications system. To supply GPS, a large number of MEO satellites are deployed into orbit. More MEO satellites will be required as the demand for GPS connection rises. For effective signal transmission, this will lead to a necessity for several satellite modems to be placed throughout base stations. The massive launches of the satellites surge the growth of the satellite modem market.

Market Restraining Factors

Satcom Equipment's Susceptibility to Cyberattacks

For the majority of enterprises installing IoT systems and, more recently, 5G networks, which include numerous connected devices across networks, platforms, and devices, security is the most important technical challenge. IoT growth implies a bad actor might potentially control a vast network of linked devices if just one unencrypted device or the communication between them isn't safeguarded. Every step of the data transmission process must be secured, not only the devices themselves. The satellite-space industry is now under threat from network hacking and cyberattacks, which is creating an increasing challenge to satellite operators.

Channel Type Outlook

Based on the Channel Type, the Satellite Modem Market is segmented into SCPC Modem and MCPC Modem. The MCPC modem segment witnessed a significant revenue share in the satellite modem market in 2021.
