Ground Segment & Infrastructure

The ground segment connects satellites to terrestrial networks, encompassing ground station antennas, network operations centers, and the increasingly important ground-station-as-a-service (GSaaS) cloud platforms. The sector is being disrupted by virtualized, cloud-native ground infrastructure.

Key Trends

• →Ground-station-as-a-service replacing owned infrastructure
• →Cloud-native architectures reducing cost per contact
• →Optical ground stations for high-bandwidth satellite links
• →Edge computing at ground stations for real-time data processing
