Summary

A broad consensus among telecom operators and public institutions estimates that only 10 percent of the Earth’s surface has access to terrestrial connectivity services, making satellite IoT a valuable alternative to complement terrestrial IoT networks, especially in remote and rural areas.

This study focuses on the current state of the satellite market, with a specific emphasis on the IoT sector. It achieves this by dissecting the satellite IoT value chain, identifying key satellite players, and estimating satellite IoT market volumes and ARPUs.

Additionally, it examines the various market forces driving the Satellite IoT market. This includes a detailed analysis of their strategies, offerings, and, notably, their business models.

It addresses the following key questions
1. How is standardization driving cellular-satellite convergence?
2. How are the players positioned in terms of strategy and offerings?
– What partnerships are they entering into to deliver hybrid connectivity solutions?
3. What initiatives are Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Cellular IoT Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) undertaking to leverage satellite connectivity?
