Global 5G Satellite Communication Market Grows at a Staggering CAGR of 29.09%

Introduction

The growing adoption of small satellites in the defense industry for geospace and atmospheric research, tactical communication, and medium resolution imagery is expected to drive market growth. SATCOM solutions for improved airline operations and air traffic management are expected to drive market growth in the coming years.

The 5G network's development and the launches of several LEO and MEO satellites are expected to expand the SATCOM market in the coming years (MEO). The introduction of satellite communication into the connectivity market has prompted SATCOM service providers to safeguard the rollout of the Internet of Things (IoT) in every region of the world. Aviation, environmental monitoring, shipping, and military support use these devices. SATCOM providers have recently begun offering high-bandwidth satellite transponders. SATCOM transponders allow wireless monitoring, communication, and control. It automatically responds to incoming signals.
