As such, leaders in the satellite industry are moving now to ensure they will have a seat at the table once the IoT revenue stream begins to flow. To break down satellites\u2019 role in the future, a group of speakers from all parts of the value chain dug into the details at the \u201cInternet of Things Focus: Where Does the Satellite Piece Fit in the Puzzle?\u201d panel at SATELLITE 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Last, vice president and general manager of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) business at Iridium, noted that the push toward IoT has become an arms race. \u201cOne of the challenges that I think many operators have \u2014 not just satellite operators \u2014 is IoT competing across many different technologies and communications mechanisms,\u201d he said, pointing out that even the most basic IoT interaction can involve dozens of companies. Last thinks satellite companies have neglected to consider how important IoT will become to businesses across all sectors, but sees that mentality beginning to shift. \u201cIoT has been last on the agenda. The change we\u2019ll see over the next few years is the satellite community will be talking about IoT right up front, rather than as an emerging technology,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/K4dUFuzITRarxdHQFXcn_ShowDaily17_Cover_Wrap_DGTL-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/K4dUFuzITRarxdHQFXcn_ShowDaily17_Cover_Wrap_DGTL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/K4dUFuzITRarxdHQFXcn_ShowDaily17_Cover_Wrap_DGTL-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/K4dUFuzITRarxdHQFXcn_ShowDaily17_Cover_Wrap_DGTL-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/K4dUFuzITRarxdHQFXcn_ShowDaily17_Cover_Wrap_DGTL.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the Show Daily 2017 Wrap Up Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>According to Last, terrestrial operators once made the same mistake and were punished for it. \u201cIf you look at what happened in the terrestrial wireless world, many companies thought they would live in the land of broadband for the rest of their lives. Now those that aren\u2019t embracing IoT are falling behind,\u201d he said. \u201c[IoT] is going to dramatically change enterprises and consumers over the next 20 to 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As much as the satellite industry wants a slice of the IoT pie due to the potential for new revenue streams, IoT also needs satellite technology in order to reach its full potential. So says Jassem Nasser, chief strategy officer at Thuraya, who sees the \u201cdiversity in devices and locations\u201d as playing right to the strengths of satellite, which offers ubiquitous coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Max Kamenetsky, vice president of business development at SSL, also highlighted a few traditional areas where customers naturally gravitate toward satellite-based solutions. \u201cWhen you think about applications such as oil and gas, mining, aeronautical or maritime, satellite is frequently the only option available. There are other applications where satellite brings the aspect of security. With satellite you can provide the kind of security to government, for example, that you may not be able to provide with terrestrial technologies,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to think very hard about the specific verticals where satellite has a unique value proposition.\u201d Mobile applications are especially important, he said, because those assets will move outside of the coverage zone for terrestrial operators.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6ee1f58d4a2;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6ee1f58d4a2 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6ee1f58d4a3').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6ee1f58d4a3'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Satellite operators already own what\u2019s happening in the air and maritime, Nasser said, so those segments are a given. \u201cIf you look at the land piece specifically, I would think shipping logistics would be number one, followed by utilities and disaster prevention,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, according to Jennifer Manner, senior vice president of regulatory affairs for Echostar, satellite is the most economic choice for connectivity in rural portions of the world where terrestrial infrastructure is non-existent. As a result, satellite can flourish as a supplement to urban services, where terrestrial wireless operators are already dominant.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Last says satellite and wireless operators will have to learn to work together. \u201cWe have to be part of a hybrid network because the mass of competing technologies makes it difficult and challenging to provide a single solution. No operator here can provide the speed, power and coverage, at least in urban areas, that terrestrial networks can,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s important we embrace that hybrid mode in order to retain the value satellite can bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kamenetsky also cautioned satellite operators to remain open-minded to new architectures and orbits as well. \u201cWe happen to think Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) has a lot to bring to the world of IoT, especially if we\u2019re talking about high capacity and high capacity density. But Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is equally important, and there will be a lot of applications that can leverage that. We look forward to LEO, GEO and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) having equal space at the table,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main points the speakers stressed is that the only way satellite will have a role in the IoT market is if regulatory policy enables fair play. Manner emphasized that policy must be technology neutral. \u201cRegulators tend to have a bias toward terrestrial wireless operators \u2026 [Policy] should not privilege one technology over another. There needs to be adequate spectrum resources made available and promotion of efficient utilization of that spectrum,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Flessate, senior vice president of government and Automatic Identification System (AIS) services at Orbcomm, spoke similarly, citing a historical precedent to bias against the satellite industry. \u201cOne of the issues we face in the satellite world is it\u2019s traditionally controlled by certain entities. It\u2019s hard to have open standards that are available and open to all,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have to be fairly equitable to all parties that come to the table and serve this market.\u201d
