Bandwidth increases by about 80 percent annually, and this reflects the need for satellite bandwidth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drivers for greater bandwidth include increasingly connected devices, the Internet of Things (IoT), all-digital news content, and Internet-based video demands. Furthermore, anywhere\/everywhere connectivity expectations require new types of delivery models.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the site level, which is obviously created by ever increasing demands for bandwidth at the user level, I don\u2019t know anybody now who carries only one IP enabled device with them,\u201d says Andrew Lucas chief technology officer at Harris CapRock Communications. \u201cIt used to be that you carried a phone and did some text messaging.

The types of anchor services it delivers to schools and clinics are frequently for safety purposes, and often form the primary wireless presence in remote villages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the past two years,\u201d says Mark Ayers, director of radio frequency engineering and network services for GCI, \u201cthe healthcare and schools access domain \u2026 those particular markets are very big growth areas for GCI in our satellite segment. We also see growth in the Internet consumption areas, which is pretty consistent with what you see in an urban market \u2014 maybe not at the same rate, but it is just continuously growing.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/marquee-test-akiaisur2rgicbmpehea\/idOTkQ8vQsSkbgplyFCO_GCI_LKSD%20Connection.jpg\"><figcaption>Photo: GCIRural end users, such as GCI, depend on anchor services for schools and clinics that are the primary wireless presence in remote villages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>GCI is \u201chyper focused on efficient use of the space segment,\u201d Ayers says, because of the cost of satellite capacity. \u201cIn terms of software, we have management tools within our network and planning tools that allows us to efficiently utilize our space segment so that we know where our carriers are, we know where our gaps are, and we can efficiently find carriers \u2026 that are of sufficient size.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He runs into the problem of either finding adequate platforms available that cost too much, or finding affordable platforms available that can\u2019t deliver the robust service GCI needs. \u201cThe reliability of our systems that we deploy quickly becomes a very big issue. When I look at what I\u2019d like to see innovated \u2026 it\u2019s a resurgence of this focus on reliable systems development,\u201d he says. \u201cIf we go out and deploy something [within rural Alaska], and it fails, it is often a really big deal. [Limited service] can be catastrophic for a hospital in a rural community that only has satellite connectivity out in their village.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Improvements<\/h2>\n<p>According to Placido, satellite coding and modulation has consistently improved over the past 30 years to adapt to digital demands, with satellite service providers employing an array of bandwidth management techniques that range from the satellite spectrum level to software-driven functions at the application level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the early days of digital satellite links that used Viterbi\/Sequential coding to today\u00b4s scenario of links using flexible [Low-Density Parity-Check] LDPC coding or [Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite second generation extension] DVB-S2X links with higher order modulations (16QAM, 32\/65APSK) and sophisticated error correction algorithms, things have improved consistently,\u201d Placido said. Other bandwidth management techniques used concurrently in Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and HTS service include \u201ccarrier canceling, [Time Division Multiple Access] TDMA and dynamic [Single Channel Per Carrier] SCPC access, Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), bandwidth optimization and compression (for cellular backhaul and enterprise data), HTTP\/TCP [Hypertext Transfer Protocol\/ Transmission Control Protocol] acceleration, edge caching, HTS beam roaming, and smart [network management] systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But developments do not just mean more bits per hertz, Placido warns. They also mean smart ways to manage bandwidth assignments dynamically. For instance, while SCPC technology continue to push the boundaries of bandwidth efficiency by performing carrier cancellation on point-to-point links, TDMA systems have developed substantially to the point that the markets served by either SCPC and TDMA vendors overlap.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can think about [bandwidth optimization strategy] in all sort of different ways,\u201d suggests Lucas. \u201cYou can put yourself in the management of the portfolio perspective, or the customer quality of experience perspective, or what it means from a technology perspective \u2014 [that is] what components and what systems and what devices do you need on the infrastructure to make it all happen in terms of quality of experience management, quality of service configuration management, and moving things around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69d48564d0d;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_6a69d48564d0d = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69d48564d0e').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69d48564d0e'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Higher Data Rates<\/h2>\n<p>Higher data rates, more efficient and effective use of satellite bandwidth and more reliable transponders and service continuity are essential to the exchange of increasing volumes in data, video and voice-over-satellite applications.

I think it is time to re-explore the roles of satellites in fixed and mobile content delivery as this relates to three key markets served by satellite networks: Satellite HTS broadband, cellular backhaul, and video distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lucas also notes that users to have little tolerance for service interruption and expect less and less errors in the system. \u201cAn important part of the technology going forward is to ensure that this highly fluid, relatively chaotic environment is managed to the appropriate high standards and paired to the individual\u2019s expectation and the customer\u2019s business expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Effect of HTS and Small Satellites<\/h2>\n<p>The advent of HTS and proliferation of smaller satellites in LEO and MEO has had a reverberating effect felt in every corner of the telecommunications market.
