Reach New Heights: Why CSPs Need a Satellite Strategy

Charting Your Course: Satellite Strategy Options for CSPs

The future of connectivity is increasingly intertwined with satellite technology. Analysys Mason urges CSPs to leverage satellites to enhance existing services and enter new markets. Here are key strategies to consider:

Organic growth:

Leverage existing expertise. CSPs with established infrastructure can expand their broadband offerings. For example, Orange now includes satellite internet, providing a "superfast" solution (200 Mbps download) for customers outside fiber coverage areas.

Strategic partnerships:

Carefully evaluate potential merger and acquisition (M&A) targets. For example, the Ecostar-Dish Network merger aims to create a leading wireless and satellite provider.

Satellite-as-a-Service (SaaS):

Partner with established SaaS providers. For example, Africa Mobile Networks (AMN) successfully partnered with Intelsat to deploy satellite infrastructure across Africa, connecting over 8 million people in rural areas.
