Ka-band - Satellite Broadband Communications and Other SATCOM Application Solutions

Ka-band solutions offer a number of services. Applications ranging from enterprise and government high- speed data services to consumer two-way broadband and high-definition TV (HDTV) are being provided via an increasing number of Ka-band payloads for operators. Satellite Ka-band range is usually 28.0 through 31.0 GHz (in sub-bands).

Broadband Services Operating in Ka-band

Consumer broadband services are now offered by many operators.  This rate of growth would not be possible without effective network operations on a scale never before seen on satellite. The implementation of such techniques as DVB-S2 adaptive coding and modulation, along with adaptive carrier rates on the inbound channels, has made an enormous difference for the service providers. Enterprise customers are moving to Ka-band to access cheaper satellite terminals and more affordable bandwidth.  "Ka-band satellite broadband terminals are available at reasonable pricing are fully capable of supporting enterprise applications with an integrated VPN product. The emergence of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) plays into Ka-band as an IP multicast service delivered over the same broadband pipe as the customer's Internet service.

Ka-band and the Satellite Operator

Some satellite operators remain cautious as to how significant a role Ka-band will be when incorporated into company strategy. However Ka-band does provide a strategic position in the retail broadband market. Satellite service providers continue to look at the opportunities for this frequency, particularly in areas where constraints on Ku-band capacity exist, such as North America and Europe, and potentially in other rapid growth regions. The Ka-band configuration of IA-8 is unique as it incorporates a multi-spot design, which is suitable for applications that require high contribution bandwidth.
