Global Satellite Transponder Market: Overview

The satellite transponders are part of the payload of a satellite. They are mainly used for transmitting and receiving the uplinked signals. Approximately 15 to 30 transponders can be found in a single satellite. The signals that are transmitted by the satellites to the earth are of very low power level owing to the huge difference in the distance between the satellite and the transmitter. The configuration of the transponders is made at different frequency ranges so that the low-power signals that are received can be amplified. The transponders also consist of high-power amplifiers to perform the function of amplification. The amplified signals are transmitted by the satellite back to the Earth.

Global Satellite Transponder Market: Growth Factors

There has been an increase in the growth of the new subscribers for the Ku-band frequencies thus increasing the demand for the satellite transponders. The Ku-band is the most favorable band as it is mainly utilized for video, data and voice communications. Moreover, the adoption of the Ka-band frequency has also increased considerably for communication and high-bandwidth broadcasting purposes thus positively impacting the market growth for satellite transponders. The other factor that is contributing to the market growth is the subscriber upgrades. The various application sectors where the satellite transponders are used include machine-to-machine (M2M), maritime broadband and in-flight communications. These sectors have been growing rapidly which in turn is positively impacting the satellite transponders market.
