5. Final Remarks


• Advantages:

– Quick deployment.

– Wide coverage in the geographical area.

– Cost does not depend on the distance.

– Suitable for pòint to multipoint conections.

• Drawbacks:

– Expensive for point to point links.

– Fiber bandwith is much greater than satellite bandwith.

– Transmission delay shall be considered in the protocols design. (aprox. 250 mseg per hop). Higher than radionlinks and fiber.

• Other type of satellite infrastructures are consolidating in the satellite market:

– Satellite constellations.

– Satellites multispot:

• Coverage concentrated in small spots in Ka band.

• Big increase in capacity due to the number of spots and frequency reuse in the Ka-band spectrum allocated.

• Big potential for deployment of for broadband services (specially internet access).

5. Final Remarks


To provide a service to a customer a combination of satellite with fiber and radiolinks is needed.

Satellite provides quick deployment in all coverage area. This may be a key aspect for mobile operators where terrestrial network is not deployed.

Ka-band technology will allow start big deployment of broadband services with higher capacity services.
