TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Enterprise VSAT Market: Hughes Network Systems LLC, Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd., VT iDirect Inc., and ViaSat Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “One of the recent trends being witnessed in the Global Enterprise VSAT market is the increasing adoption of hybrid routers with both terrestrial and satellite capabilities. Enterprises across the globe use terrestrial services for their day-to-day business functions. However, they also use VSAT services in case of a system outage. Spacenet developed a plug-in that is built into Cisco routers where the router will use a satellite connection in the case of a terrestrial connection failure. Advanced routing protocols such as virtual router redundancy protocol allow two routers be connected to the same network and provide a backup facility if one fails. Such advanced routing protocols allow network engineers to incorporate VSATs into their terrestrial networks. The network integration between VSAT and terrestrial networks is a new trend that is expected to augur well for the growth of the market during the forecast period.”
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the high return on investments for the end-users. The core concept of VSAT deals with providing communication in remote areas and difficult terrains where terrestrial networks cannot be established. The enterprise VSAT is being used by mining enterprises and oil & gas exploring agencies for establishing communication networks in remote sites. VSATs are also used by multinational companies for intranet and internet access and by large enterprises for disaster recovery applications.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the requirement for high initial investment. Enterprises need to have a proper infrastructure in place such as hubs, antennas, and other infrastructure before they can deploy VSAT services. The need for high initial investments renders VSATs unaffordable by the price-conscious SMEs.
