North America Satellite Communication Terminal Market

North America satellite communication terminal market is expected to grow from US$ 1,612.61 million in 2023 to US$ 2,214.65 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2023 to 2028.

Increasing Demand for Defense Satellite Communication Solutions Fuels North America Satellite Communication Terminal Market

The requirement for satellite communication terminals is increasing in the defense sector in various countries across the region. One of the main reasons for the growing demand is the rising military spending of numerous nations. The demand for phased array antenna systems is increasing in high-speed data communication in aircraft and respective maritime and airborne applications. In January 2021, the Thales Group received an order of AN/PRC-148D improved multiband inter/intra team radios from the US Army. The count of Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio (MBITR) radio orders is expected to be more than 6,000.

In December 2021, Florida-based Tampa Microwave got a US$ 62.1 million contract from the US Special Operations Command to provide Satellite Deployable Node-Lite (SDN-L) terminals, spares, and ancillary equipment. The SDN-Lite can operate in Ku-, Ka-, and X- frequency bands in support of other SDN family variants, which consist of the SOF Deployable Node-Heavy and SND-Medium terminals. Similarly, in January 2023, Get SAT announced that along with R4 Integration, the US Government agency had awarded them a multi-million-dollar contract to provide satellite communication for C-130 airplanes. Under this contract, the agency selected Get SAT’s Milli SAT EX Ka-band terminal, which is a compact all-in-one communications-on-the-move (COTM) Ka-band solution. This satellite terminal is designed to meet mission-critical requirements of C-130 airborne applications without requiring any modifications to the aircraft. The terminal offers an optimized for voice, video, and data transmission and provides high bandwidth data throughput exceeding 30 Mbps with HTS satellites. Thus, the rising demand for defense satellite communication solutions drives the requirement for various satellite communication terminals.

North America Satellite Communication Terminal Market Overview

The North America satellite communication terminal market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. North America is the most technologically advanced region, owing to high gross domestic product (GDP), positive outlook toward adoption of advanced technologies, high GDP per capita, favorable economic policies, high standard of living, and presence of a robust technology ecosystem. North America has a high emphasis on the defense sector as the governments spend significant amounts on the military, navy, and air force. Various domains such as telecommunication, media & entertainment, transportation & logistics, business & enterprise, scientific research & development, aviation, aerospace, defense, and retail & consumer drive the satellite communication terminal market in the region. As a part of the Commercial Broadband Satellite Program (CBSP), in August 2021, the US Navy has awarded a contract for 16 satellite communication terminals to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. This contract is said to be worth US$ 18 million and is expected to provide access to commercial broadband communications during maritime operations. CBSP ULV offers terminal-to-space, terminal-to-shore, and terrestrial connectivity in order to increase the throughput for commercial satellite communication. The CBSP program also consists of two US Navy contracts for distinct types of terminals, one for Unit-Level Variants (ULV) and another for Force-Level Variants (FLV). Thus, the rising demand for satellite communication in the region will further fuel the growth of the satellite communication terminal market.
