Research and Markets: Satellite WiFi Convergence. A
Developing Model for Broadband Access
Converged satellite-WiFi deployments now promise to carve
out several niches of the access market that cannot be
served terrestrially. In a converged satellite-WiFi
deployment, a satellite link is used as a backhaul link to
the Internet. The link is then used to feed a WiFi access
point, which then ultimately serves end users that possess a
WiFi access card. This model pairs two strong distribution
and delivery technologies. The model also enables high-speed
telecommunications everywhere, is a solid option for
bridging the digital divide, and therefore has tremendous
social and economic implications. The model also opens new
vertical and horizontal markets that have been ill-served by
terrestrial access options.
