Satellite Future Directions and Challenges
Bigger launch vehicles reduce costs &
enable smarter satellites and bigger antennae
Optical links improve performance
More constellations, Kuiper joins the crowd
Lower latency than fibre
Not to scale
More standardization, e.g., 5G NTN
Too many aspiring
providers; Satellite drone connectivity becomes mainstream
Inevitable failures; Tighter integration between satellite comms
Volatile pricing & T&Cs and cloud zones
In-orbit data processing
Maintain 2G without a network
Constellation as a service
