DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/75sqjf/fixed_satellite) has announced the addition of the "Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) Market in North America 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The increase in the utilization rate of transponders is one of the major trends witnessed in the market in recent years. Led by government regulations and market consolidation, the capacity of the C-band and Ku-band is expected to decline by 3 percent during the forecast period. Hence, the transponder utilization rate of existing satellites will increase significantly.
According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increased demand for TV and video transponders. The demand for FSS transponders has been increasing in recent years in line with the massive adoption of HDTV because HD channels require four to five times more capacity than a standard definition channel.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the requirement for high capital investment. FSS operators spend much money upfront to procure and launch satellites. Further, FSS operators have to incur additional expenditure for insurance because of the high risk involved in launching and orbital placement of the satellites.
