Inside Ecuador’s Digital Frontier: Internet Access, Inequality, and Satellite Solutions

Inside Ecuador’s Digital Frontier: Internet Access, Inequality, and Satellite Solutions

Fixed broadband penetration is around 15% of the population as of December 2022, equating to roughly 2.75–2.9 million fixed broadband accounts in a country of 18 million people. About 20,242 km of fiber-optic cable were laid in 2022 alone, representing nearly 10% of Ecuador’s total fiber infrastructure. The Mistral undersea cable was activated to increase international bandwidth, in partnership with…

Bandwidth Wars: The High-Stakes Battle for High-Throughput Satellite Dominance (2025–2035)

Bandwidth Wars: The High-Stakes Battle for High-Throughput Satellite Dominance (2025–2035)

HTS use numerous narrow spot-beams and on-board processing to deliver dramatically higher data rates than legacy FSS, with platforms like Boeing 702X and SES-17 featuring fully digital, reconfigurable payloads. HTS constellations can deliver terabits of capacity worldwide to power broadband, backhaul, IoT and government networks. Modern HTS platforms operate primarily in Ku/Ka-bands and increasingly in V/Q/KuL bands to support mobility.…

Sky Is No Limit: Global Satcom Market Set to Soar Through 2035

Sky Is No Limit: Global Satcom Market Set to Soar Through 2035

In 2024 the global space economy reached $415 billion, with commercial satellite activities totaling about $293 billion (71%). The number of active satellites rose from about 3,300 in 2020 to over 11,500 by end-2024 due to mega-constellations. SpaceX and OneWeb have joined traditional players like Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Thales Alenia, Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, and Inmarsat, intensifying competition. By 2035…

Internet Access in Comoros: From Island Gaps to Satellite Signals

Internet Access in Comoros: From Island Gaps to Satellite Signals

The Union of the Comoros comprises Grande Comore (Ngazidja), Anjouan (Ndzuwani), Mohéli (Mwali) and the Mayotte territory, with island geography that complicates terrestrial network rollout. Submarine cables have transformed connectivity: EASSy landed in Moroni in 2010–2011, AVASSA was completed in 2016, and FLY-LION3 landed at Itsandra, Moroni in 2019, creating three major international links. Internally, AVASSA connects Grande Comore and…

Sky Scanners: How SAR Imaging Satellites Are Redefining Earth Observation

Sky Scanners: How SAR Imaging Satellites Are Redefining Earth Observation

About 75% of the planet is obscured by cloud cover or darkness at any moment, making optical imaging inaccessible. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites actively illuminate the ground with microwave radar and synthesize a large aperture by moving the antenna to produce high-resolution images. SAR can operate day or night and in all weather, providing 24/7 imaging. Sentinel-1 (ESA) comprises…

Satellite Internet FAQ

Satellite Internet FAQ

Traditional GEO satellite internet sends data roughly 22,000 miles to a satellite and back, yielding a round-trip latency of about 600–800 ms. Satellite internet can reach virtually anywhere with a clear view of the sky, including most of the continental United States. HughesNet uses geostationary satellites and advertises speeds up to 25 Mbps download and about 3 Mbps upload on…
