The global software-defined satellite market research study offers a wide perspective on the analysis of the industry. The research is based on extensive primary interviews (in-house experts, industry leaders, and market players) and secondary research (a host of paid, and unpaid databases), along with the analytical tools that have been used to build the forecast and the predictive models.
Owing to the demand for increased versatility and adaptive satellites, there has been a constant alteration in the electronic technologies being deployed in the satellites. Extensive research has been conducted on new global information networks and electronic information management systems so as to focus on providing improved efficiency of the satellite, along with cost and size reduction. Exploring new forms of electronic technologies for components such as antenna, transceivers, amplifiers, on-board data handlers, on-board computers, and satellite sensor and conducting system-level optimization are the major drivers in the satellites industry which can help enable software-defined satellites revolution.
Scheduled to launch in 2019, Eutelsat Quantum is the first reconfigurable satellite platform developed by the U.K. space agency and ESA. The research work on reconfigurable and flexible payloads for software-defined satellite is growing in numbers. Traditional satellites work on provided set algorithms at the time of manufacturing; they are static in terms of change in operation since the time of launch. Flexible payloads address the change in maneuver without the need of changing any hardware, cutting down on cost and labor requirement. The new architecture present in software-defined satellites define a new age technology which does not limit the flexibility in order to expand its application and features.
