Innovations in Satellite Communications and Satellite Technology [PDF ebook] 
The Industry Implications of DVB-S2X, High Throughput Satellites, Ultra HD, M2M, and IP

Surveys key advances in commercial satellite communications
and what might be the implications and/or opportunities for
end-users and service providers in utilizing the latest
fast-evolving innovations in this field

This book explores the evolving technical options and
opportunities of satellite networks. Designed to be a
self-contained reference, the book includes background technical
material in an introductory chapter that will serve as a primer to
satellite communications. The text discusses advances in
modulation techniques, such as DBV-S2 extensions (DVS-S2X);
spotbeam-based geosynchronous and medium earth orbit High
Throughput Satellite (HTS) technologies and Internet applications;
enhanced mobility services with aeronautical and maritime
applications; Machine to Machine (M2M) satellite applications;
emerging ultra HD technologies; and electric propulsion. The
author surveys the latest innovations and service strategies
and the resulting implications, which involves:

* Discussing advances in modulation techniques and HTS spotbeam
technologies

* Surveying emerging high speed aeronautical mobility services
and maritime and other terrestrial mobility services

* Assessing M2M (machine-to-machine) applications, emerging Ultra
HD video technologies and new space technology

Satellite communication is an integral part of the larger fields
of commercial, television/media, government, and military
communications, because of its multicast/broadcast capabilities,
mobility, reliability, and global reach. High Throughput
Satellites) are expected to revolutionize the field during this
decade, providing very high speed, yet cost-effective, Internet
access and connectivity anywhere in the world, in rural areas, in
the air, and at sea. M2M connectivity, enabled by satellite
communications, connects trucks on transcontinental trips, aircraft
in real-time-telemetry aggregation, and mercantile ships.

A comprehensive analysis of the new advances in satellite
communications, Innovations in Satellite Communications
Technology is a reference for telecommunications and
satellite providers and end-users, technology investors, logistic
professionals, and more.
