Robert Bell’s four forecasts for the future of satellite communications

Robert Bell has over 20 years experience in the telecommunications industry and is currently Executive Director of the World Teleport Association (WTA). Robert spoke at NewSat’s Satellite Seminar held at its South Australian Teleport in late 2011 and provided some in-depth insights into the global satellite industry, presenting four forecasts for the future of satellite communications.

1. There will be a rising rate of commercial military integration in satellite services.
2. There will be an increase in media and telecommunications, especially media on demand.
3. All of this will lead to a rise in demand for Ka-band, the latest satellite frequency.
4. The compression of information, will ultimately have no boundaries.
