[Satnews] Just released is NSR’s Satellite Capacity Pricing Index- Q1 2016, leads the industry with a first of its kind, in depth analysis of real-world satellite operator pricing.
The index incorporates actual satellite operator inputs across traditional FSS C- & Ku-band capacity, and GEO-HTS, including rate-card pricing by region, application, and frequency band.
The satellite telecommunications industry has undergone enormous change over the previous few years, with concepts such as scarcity of capacity being turned upside down with the advent of HTS and new FSS capacity coming online over different regions. These changes impact different markets in markedly different ways, and NSR’s Satellite Capacity Pricing Index is the ideal guide for understanding the factors influencing the price points observed in the satellite telecommunications industry.
NSR’s Satellite Capacity Pricing Index finds that pricing has fallen at a rate of 2 to 3 percent per year on average since 2010, with further pricing contraction expected due to industry factors (GEO-HTS) and macro factors (fiber). Current spot pricing varies significantly based on application and region; however, satellite operators are beginning to view a dichotomy of growth opportunities emerging in GEO-HTS data applications, and traditional FSS video hotspots, with the rest of the industry seeing downward pressure coming from the above-mentioned factors, among others.
NSR’s Satellite Capacity Pricing Index provides industry players with optimal real world data and pricing figures derived for 2010-2015, and real-world pricing figures compiled to create a 2016 spot pricing index.
