Plenary Talk
"Trends in Mobile Satellite Systems"
Abstract
Mobile Satellite Systems encompass various systems operating in different spectra. Each offers a wide range of services and applications. While the MSS market is globally limited in size when compared to the terrestrial mobile market, MSS still offers interesting business perspectives provided adequate positioning. The presentation aims at identifying the main business opportunities as well as the related technical and regulatory enablers which will set the trends for MSS.
