Abstract

A technique for assessing the market of advanced global telecommunication networks, including the space segment, as global coverage communication megaconstellations is considered. According to our results, the worldwide traffic consumption by 5G mobile devices by 2022 will be almost 8.5 EB/month. The possible cost of deploying a megaconstellation of communications to provide broadband Internet access at any place in the world can range from $5 to $50 billion, depending on service requirements. We have shown that modern and prospective space communications constellations can be integrated into a new-generation global telecommunication infrastructure. Deployment of a constellation of 600 or more devices with a cost of almost $10 billion can provide traffic transit from base stations in remote areas delivering the population with broadband Internet through 5G networks.

电信市场新业务背景下全球卫星通信星座发展前景

摘要

考虑了一种用于评估全球先进通信网络（包括空间部分）的市场的技术，以作为全球覆盖通信巨型星座。根据我们的结果，到2022年，全球5G移动设备的流量消耗将接近8.5 EB /月。根据服务需求，在全球任何地方部署巨型通信群以提供宽带Internet访问的可能成本在5到500亿美元之间。我们已经表明，现代和未来的空间通信星座可以集成到新一代的全球电信基础设施中。
