A satellite telephone, satellite phone, or satphone is a type of mobile phone that fixes to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell sites. These provide similar functionality to global mobile telephones in voice, SMS and low-bandwidth internet access are sustained through most systems. Modern satellite phones are similar in size to a regular mobile phone while some prototype satellite phones have no discrete difference from an ordinary smartphone. Satphones are commonly known on expeditions into remote areas where terrestrial cellular service is not feasible.

Global Satellite Telephones Market Size & Growth:

Global Satellite telephones market was valued at $4.72 billion in the year 2017, and it is estimated to reach $6.21 billion by 2024 with a CAGR of 4.12% during the forecasting period 2019-2024. The ability to agree on the user to stay in touch with one another at the time of crisis is driving the growth for satellite phones across the globe. Satellite phones are also used in the areas where the government has controlled the access to internet and calls. Also, these can be used in areas affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunami, and some others. Moreover, increasing satellite industry coupled with growing defence expenditure is also fueling the global market of satellite telephones.

Global Satellite Telephones Market Share:

The market is segmented into satellite type, end user, and geography. By satellite type, the market is segmented into geosynchronous orbit, low-earth orbit. Among these, the geosynchronous orbit is expected to hold the most significant market share and also witness to be the fastest growing segment with a CAGR of XX% during 2019-2024. The amount of bandwidth obtainable on these systems is considerably higher than that of the low Earth orbit (LEO) systems. These systems offer portable satellite internet using laptop-sized terminals with speeds ranging from 60 to 512 kbit per second (kbps). By end-user, the market is segmented into defence, marine, aviation, energy and government. Defence segment is likely to dominate the market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecasting period.

By geography, North America is likely to dominate the market owing to the technology improvements. The satellite industry has experienced tremendous growth in the past couple of decades in this region, and most of the consumers are actively using the satellite phones among which iridium phones are the extensively utilised satellite phones. APAC is likely to witness growth in the coming years owing to the increasing demand from the countries of South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and some other developing economies.
