Mobile satellite services (MSS) are radio communication services providing voice, data, and Internet services to mobile and fixed terminals, ships, aircraft, buildings, and land vehicles. These telecom services have a wide-area earth coverage and their operations are typically independent of local telecommunications infrastructure. They are considered beneficial during a disaster as MSS can provide disaster relief telecommunications. At present, they are increasingly being employed in the aerospace, maritime, automotive, and healthcare industries across the globe.
High-speed internet penetration and improving wireless access have resulted in the introduction of new capabilities, such as enhanced data and multimedia access. This represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a considerable increase in the use of MSS by military and defense personnel who travel abroad or operate on land, sea or air frequently in areas far from terrestrial or cellular coverage. Besides this, forestry, mining, and oil and gas companies utilize MSS for voice communication, remote connectivity, and tracking and automated monitoring of equipment and hardware. In addition, these services are used by individuals that walk, ride and sail into areas far from terrestrial coverage. MSS provides voice and data services that help them track, locate, and communicate with authorities in case of an emergency. This, coupled with the escalating demand for low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites, is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, increasing 5G mobile networks with next-generation satellite capabilities is catalyzing the demand for mobile satellite services worldwide. Other factors, including rising technological advancements and the increasing digitalization around the world, are anticipated to influence the market positively in the forecasted period.
