Telcos Could Make Billions From 5G Satellite Services
telecoms.com, Monday, September 18,2023
Juniper Research puts the potential revenue uplift at US$17 billion over the 2024 to 2030 period and, as a result, is strongly advising telcos to team up with their satellite counterparts.
Working with satellite operators will also help telcos get ready for 6G - more on that in a moment - but rather than looking ahead to the next generation of mobile technology, they need to act now, Juniper Research says. Or in its own words, it advises telcos ' to prioritise immediate partnerships' with satellite players.
Specifically, telcos should look at working with operators of geostationary orbit satellites, their consistent position being what operators need for consistent connectivity, of course. It did not give names, but we're talking about the likes of SES, Eutelsat, Intelsat, Inmarsat and others.
