preparedness in case of emergencies is expected fuel growth of the satellite telephones market.
Military forces, public safety agencies and disaster management teams are expected to be the
primary consumers, owing to the requirement to coordinate their activities in case of such
emergencies.
“Technical limitations such as dead spots in the network and low voice quality are
expected to be the major factor hampering the satellite telephones market growth”
Satphones function on an entirely different network infrastructure through radio wave
propagation. Owing to these connectivity is distorted inside the buildings or any structure where
the view of the horizon is obstructed. Functioning of these products requires retracted antennas,
owing to which user cannot reliably receive phone calls, when the phone is in pocket or bag
packs. Moreover, calls to these phones from public networks can be very costly. Dead spots in
the network, relatively lower voice quality in comparison to cellular networks, and latency are
few other technological drawbacks that may negatively impact the global demands.

“Growing defense expenditure will provide solid growth platform to the satellite
telephones market over the forecast period”
Media, tourism and other forms of venturing business operations have witnessed significant
growth in the Asia Pacific and Middle East over the past few years. Requirement to cope up with
the lack of efficient conventional network coverage, expensive roaming rates, and severe
government restrictions and scrutiny imposed on all forms of communication in certain countries
in MEA and Asia Pacific are expected to provide substantial growth prospects for players in the
global satellite telephones market. However, considering the large volume of expenditure in the
sector are expected to position the defense and maritime industry as the largest end user
segment over the forecast period.
Participants are increasingly investing to enhance user experience through long battery life,
rugged design, and integration of navigation systems such as GPS, Glonass, BeiDou, and Galileo
in the devices for increased functionality. For instance, in November 2016, Thuraya introduced its
Thuraya XT PRO DUAL, that combines satellite and GSM SIM cards.
