Market Overview—Definitions

Market Description: This study covers the Satellite Transponder Market, which is also known as the Fixed Satellite Services Market, operating in three frequency bands: C, Ku, and Ka. Transponders are measured in terms of number of transponders, revenues, and average price.

Regions Covered and Defined: This study covers six major Global regions: North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. Many satellites have coverage over multiple regions; therefore, multi-regional satellites are classified based on where the majority of the satellite’s transponders were leased or utilized.

Definition of Unit: This study uses three units of measurement. The largest is the satellite. The base unit for the study is the Transponder Equivalent, or TPEs, normalized to xx MHz. The final unit is the U.S. dollar which is used for all revenue calculations, market sizing, and market forecasts.

Definition of Prices: Price or average price in this study is the cost to lease a xx MHz transponder for one year.

Definition of Revenues: Revenues reflect the leasing of a transponder for the entire base year, 2010, or the projected value of the transponder if leased on the open market.

Definition of Terms and Acronyms: In this study key market terms are defined the first time they are used and acronyms are use thereafter. A list of definitions and acronyms is located in the appendix.
