NSR, Newtec stress need for defense, government markets to prepare for significant growth in satellite data rates
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., 22 Oct. 2011. Defense and government markets need to anticipate increased data, video, and voice rates over satellite, according to officials at NSR, an international satellite market research and consulting firm, and satellite communications technology provider Newtec in Stamford, Conn. The worldwide, rapidly increasing demand for communications over satellite is driven by the growing numbers and video plus data traffic by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and manned aircraft, as well as advances in fixed government communications and national security technologies.
