New FCC processing round prompts license requests for 81,195 NGSO satellites

Successive generations of HTS systems have enabled manufacturers to drastically increase the volume of capacity per satellite, with asymmetrically lower increases in CapEx per satellite for operators. This means that HTS systems coming to market post-2021 will be up to 10 times more efficient in terms of CapEx dollars per unit of capacity than HTS systems launched and ordered just a decade ago. It also means they will be up to 100 times more efficient than traditional widebeam satellites.
while the 2019-2020 period offers some pricing stabilization, according to Euroconsult, the pricing pressure will return with the launch of Very HTS (VHTS) systems and other Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) constellations. With the rise of Viasat-3 and the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations of SpaceX, Telesat, and now-bankrupt OneWeb, we could expect a new period of capacity pricing disruption beginning in the 2021-2022 timeframe.
“The drop has been significantly more pronounced for broadband-oriented applications, including consumer connectivity, mobile backhaul, trunking, IFC, and maritime connectivity. Operators have been able to somewhat defend against pricing erosion for video distribution, due, in part, to a relative scarcity of high-quality Ku-band capacity at key orbital hotspots, and the ‘lock-in’ effects or costs associated with having to re-point thousands to millions of antennas, when switching satellites to pursue lower pricing,” says Prokosh.
“On the broadband applications side, growing end user and service provider adoption of lower cost and more abundant HTS capacity is the most significant driver of the more aggressive pricing declines observed in the segment,” Prokosh adds.
There is also a trend of satellite operators trading higher priced capacity for greater peace of mind. Here, large-volume pre-launch commitments are winning over the operators willing to accept lower pricing levels in exchange for long-term, high-volume commitments. This is to mitigate against the market risks associated with having to sell massive capacity volumes in smaller increments.
“This dynamic has effectively pushed average capacity pricing levels sharply lower,” says Prokosh. “An extreme example is when Hughes, in 2019, leased about 50,000 Mbps of capacity aboard its upcoming Jupiter-3 satellite to Canadian satellite ISP Xplornet, at an estimated cost of well under $50 per Mbps per month over 15 years.”
How Low Can Prices Go?
When combining this dynamic together with the on-going pricing disruption of successive generations of HTS, the Hughes example may not seem so extreme any longer. With the scheduled 2021 launch of Viasat-3, it is estimated that the base cost will be just $5 per Mbps per month, when accounting for satellite, launch and ground segment CAPEX. In comparison, Viasat-2, which launched in 2017, has a cost base roughly three times higher than Viasat-3. While this cost base figure doesn’t necessarily reflect the actual pricing levels that an operator will choose, it indirectly acts as a proxy for a pricing floor that keeps dropping over time.
“Given our analysis and benchmarks of CAPEX efficiency of HTS systems, we can certainly see pricing levels trending towards and below $100 per megabits per second per month over the coming decade, and this is even for smaller volumes and shorter contracts,” adds Prokosh.
The Impact of LEO
Once realized and successfully launched, several of the planned LEO constellations have claimed to be able to offer attractive cost-effective capacity, which would add more weight to the current pricing pressures. It is expected for these networks to reach similar cost bases to that of Viasat-3.
The LEO constellations’ shorter lifespans undoubtedly place a strain on financial viability — replacement CapEx is needed in the early ramp-up years. But at the same time, this provides constellation operators the opportunity to upgrade their satellites more frequently, each time potentially ushering in greater efficiency enabled by rapid technological innovation, which would deepen the falling cost curve. This dynamic could become an incentive for capacity buyers to enter shorter contracts to capitalize on falling costs.
“If these constellations come to fruition as promised, the impacts on capacity pricing will be more global, as opposed to the more regional or localized impacts of recent HTS system deployments,” says Prokosh.
LEO has its pros — but is not without cons. While ubiquitous coverage has its advantages, another pro of LEO is in improved latency. But LEO constellations also have cons toward usable capacity over land, difficulty to get landing rights in various countries, and distribution models. Due to these factors, NSR does not think LEO pricing will be lower than that of GEO HTS satellites.
“LEO constellations would add to pressure to the downward pricing trend because they’d contribute to the widespread oversupply. If all the above constellations were to realize successfully, that would certainly bring a lot of supply pressure by end 2021, which could have a plunging effect on pricing, especially backhaul and mobility,” explains Gagan Agrawal, NSR senior analyst.
По-подробно за B2B стратегията на SES с O3b mPOWER - в това интервю с Майк Блефко, един от вицепрезидентите в компанията:What About MEO?
This move should land operators at the doorway to differentiated value for their customers, explains Ruszkowski, adding that he believes the industry to be at an inflection point, where it is becoming increasingly possible to break the downward pricing cycle by delivering value through differentiated services, rather than simply offering the lowest price point. SES, he says, has already done the technology legwork, and made the right investments in multi-orbit constellations and ground technology. The operator is now looking forward to seeing its constellation of Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites compound these advantages, resulting in coverage for users in remote, underserved markets.
“With O3b mPOWER, we’re already able to price around value. We’ve done this by investing in a robust multi-orbit strategy that includes both GEO and MEO constellations, as well as Open Networking Automation Platform (ONAP) software intelligence and edge computing, new antennas and other technology on the ground. The result is a comprehensive managed communications system that directly addresses our customers’ throughput, performance, scale and flexibility requirements, while allowing SES to differentiate, compete and enter new markets,” says Ruszkowski.

източникTice also revealed that some Starlink satellites are equipped with inter-satellite links, a major question that has surrounded the constellation. Tice said the Starlink team has completed a test of two satellites in orbit that are equipped with inter-satellite links, which SpaceX calls “space lasers.”
“With these space lasers the Starlink satellites were able to transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data. Once the space lasers are fully deployed, Starlink will be one of the fastest options available to transfer data around the world,” she said.
In a recent webcast with Via Satellite, Jonathan Hofeller, SpaceX’s vice president of Starlink and Commercial Sales said SpaceX was “aggressively” targeting inter-satellite links.

https://www.oneweb.world/media-center/o ... ember-2020LONDON: Monday 21 September 2020 – OneWeb, the London-based communications company, has amended its existing launch contract with Arianespace. Launches for OneWeb are scheduled to resume in December 2020, putting the company on track to complete the deployment of its full global constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites by the end of 2022.
The amended agreement with Arianespace provides for 16 launches placing another 34-36 satellites per launch into OneWeb’s growing constellation. OneWeb’s return-to-flight launch in December will increase OneWeb’s in-orbit fleet to 110 satellites.
OneWeb plans to commence commercial services by the end of 2021. Initial regions will include: The United Kingdom, Alaska, Northern Europe, Greenland, Iceland, the Arctic seas and Canada.
This amended agreement, which remains subject to confirmation and consummation of OneWeb’s restructuring plan, is an important milestone for OneWeb as it plans to emerge from the Chapter 11, with HM Government and Bharti Global as the prevailing bidders in OneWeb’s bankruptcy sale process. It confirms that the company will be well-placed to offer enterprise-grade connectivity services for communities, businesses, and governments in a short timeframe.
Единствено на обратната страна има смисъл и пак не излизат сметките срещу автоматична станция/телескоп поставен на оная точка на Ланграж. По времето на пилота Пиркс може и да е имало смисъл с тези филмови филтри. Сега нужда от хора горе няма.
