Abstract

The article offers an outlook for the global satellite communications industry. The industry, as a whole, is strengthening, with fixed-satellite services showing continued growth in North America and Europe and signs of a rebound in Asia and South America.

European manufacturers of geosynchronous-orbit (GEO) commercial communications satellites fared better.
