我们看到了很多的势头在过去的几个月里。根据你,那么,什么是前进的今天印度和卫星通信行业如何放置?
实事求是地看数字,我今天会说,全球太空部门大约接近5000亿美元,它可能是接近1万亿美元在未来7 - 8或14年(全球)。在印度,这是不幸的,因为它甚至不是一个小的,几乎不存在。
只是给你一个比较,我们使用的卫星在印度今天只是也许1 Gbps的总吞吐量或2 Gbps。在全球范围内,我们已经过去的500 Gbps,正在向1000 Gbps。
这样影响两件事——能力和最重要的因素是它与价格成反比关系。在印度,在每Mbps /月的基础上,我们有3 - 10倍甚至更多的全球利率。如果全球率是400美元一个月然后印度将使其近2000美元。它的工作方式是,空间段实际上是拥有的空间。,这些费用必须支付使用的能力。
行业分析师表示,卫星运营商提供负担不起价格吗?
从全球来看,差距是不存在的。原因是供应受到限制,和有更多的需求。当你没有足够的供给,那么价格上升,你可以收取任何你想要的。然后,你得到了标签,卫星技术是一种昂贵的技术。今天的情况不一样,它是人为的。
你还期待一些私人玩家来印度和投资更多吗?OneWebSpaceX,别人已经有了一些计划。
有更多的球员。休斯例如有一个投资建议与政府自2016年以来,但没有移动。我们已经提出,我们会建立一个高吞吐量在印度卫星(高温超导)来提供服务。
印度这样的大国的挑战是,你需要更多的技术——一种技术无法充分的为所有客户服务。
你知道,卫星等媒介,只会增加宽带服务的可用性以外的地区目前宽带地图。然后是经济可行性的其他挑战。
我们的提议,我们将提出一个高吞吐量的卫星将宽带接入可能主要是住在城市的人/城市地区,缺医少药或供水区域的国家。
读也
所以,你在看什么项目?
一还一年或两年,这是一个项目进入地球轨道卫星。基本上,目标是提供负担得起的宽带接入。但我想挑战显然是在监管领域工作,因为不是已经宣布。
但是,我想我可以肯定告诉你,它(宽带)将大大有利于帮助提高可用性,特别是在供水和缺医少药地区。
有一些安全问题在有效载荷,外籍球员,并可以忽视由于没有适当的审查机制。你认为这可能是一个国家安全威胁?
如果你想工作在任何主权管辖范围内,印度,或者其他任何地方,你必须通过国家机构和你必须安全的被称为“着陆权”。所以,当你说,我要让外国卫星运营商,有两种方法。
其中之一是,我可能是一个公司在印度注册,是否属于印第安人或者为外国人所有。现在,在这种情况下,我可以发射卫星和卫星运行但我必须经历国家航天局,这是空间的部门。所以,有一些被称为MTTR遥测和跟踪站,无论在卫星跟踪通过中心。
这样,在另一个例子可能是,我不是一个印度股份有限公司,我是一个外国公司,我有一个卫星在太空中,我希望在印度使用的服务。那么在这种情况下我不能激活服务而不需要事先在印度监管机构批准的土地产能。所以,我必须把地球站,清楚这些频率,然后国家机构把他们的跟踪和监测设备,这样任何反国家然后跟踪和监控,和不允许的。
什么是量子的投资在印度?
所以,现在就是这样的一个老的建议。当时,它是5亿美元左右。但是,现在是超过五年。所以,我们现在必须看到它如何可能会影响随着时间的推移。时,根据新规则。
任何印度路线图,在投资方面,员工人数,继续吗?你怎么想关注印度市场吗?
我们已经提交了一份提案,我们正在等待这一政策证明这样一个事实:我们正在寻找印度作为一个选项。但我认为细节很难把前期在这个时间点上,直到我们看到细则,细则是什么样子。
火车发出纸上许可规则卫星地球站网关:Vaghela
最终,火车的建议在这方面可能会有一段很长的路要清算规则建立国内卫星上的空气由海外non-geostationary卫星系统运营商网关(NGSOs),或LEO卫星服务提供商如Bharti-backed OneWeb,柯伊伯Elon Musk SpaceX和亚马逊的项目。

In an interaction with ETSatCom's Ashutosh Kumar, Hughes Network Systems\u2019 President Pranav Roach<\/a><\/strong> highlighted that India\u2019s terrestrial telecom sector has advanced from 2G to 4G, and will now move to 5G whereas, the space sector has been stuck on 2G due to regulatory restrictions even though the broadband-from-space presents a \u201chuge opportunity\u201d for the country and its citizens. Edited excerpts:
We have seen a lot of momentum over the past few months. So, what, according to you, is the way forward for India and how is the SatCom sector placed today?<\/strong>
<\/div><\/div>It\u2019s unfortunate that while the terrestrial mobile or telecom sector has moved from 2G to 2.5G, to 3G, and to 4G, and now we are talking about 5G but unfortunately in space, we are stuck with 2G \u2014 not from a technological perspective but due to the regulatory restrictions.
To put things in perspective in terms of numbers, I will say that today, globally the space sector is roughly close to $500 billion and it could be close to $1 trillion in the next 7-8 or 14 years [globally]. In India, it's unfortunate because, it's not even a little of it, it's almost non-existent.
Just to give you a comparison, the satellites we\u2019re using in India today have a total throughput of just maybe 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps. Globally, we're already past 500 Gbps and are moving towards 1000 Gbps.
So that has an impact on two things \u2014 the capacity and the most important factor is that it has an inverse relationship with price. In India, on a per Mbps\/month basis, we have almost 3-10 times or even more of the global rates. So, if the global rate is at $400 a month then India would be making it for almost $2000. The way it works is that the space segment is actually owned by the Department of Space. And, these are the charges one has to pay to utilize the capacity.

<\/div><\/div>So, in that sense, as I said, there is a huge opportunity out there but it\u2019s not going to be there indefinitely. And, the sooner I wish we could tap into that, as India \u2014 better is for the industry in India, the users, for everybody.
Industry analysts say that satellite operators offer unaffordable pricing?<\/strong>
Globally, the disparity is not there. The reason is that a supply is restricted, and there's more demand. And when you don't have adequate supply, then the price goes up, and you can charge whatever you want. And then, you get the tag that satellite technology is an expensive technology. It's not the case today, it's artificial.
Do you also expect some private players to come to India and invest more? OneWeb<\/a> and SpaceX, and others already have some plans.
<\/strong>
There are many more players. Hughes for example had an investment proposal with the government since 2016 but hasn\u2019t moved. We had actually proposed that we will build a high throughput satellite (HTS) to provide services in India.
The challenge is for a large country like India, you need more technologies - one technology cannot be adequate to serve all customers.
And you know, for a medium like satellite, will only essentially grow the availability of broadband services to regions that are currently outside the broadband map. And, then are other challenges of economic viability.
We have made a proposal that we will put up a high throughput satellite which will make broadband access possible for people mainly staying outside the cities\/urban region, or the underserved or unserved regions of the country.

So, what projects are you looking at?
<\/strong>
One that\u2019s still a year or two years away, it's a project which is into earth-orbiting satellites. And the objective is to basically provide coverage for affordable broadband access. But, I think the challenge is obviously working in the regulatory arena because that's not something that has been announced as yet.
But, I think I can surely tell you that it (broadband) will be greatly beneficial to help improve availability, especially in unserved and underserved areas.
There are some security concerns around payload that foreign players carry, and can go unnoticed since there is no proper mechanism to scrutinise. Do you think this could be a national security threat?<\/strong>
If you want to work in any sovereign jurisdiction, India, or anywhere else, you have to go through the national agency and you have to secure what is known as \u2018landing rights\u2019. So, when you say that, I am going to allow foreign satellite operators, there are two ways of doing it.
One is that I could be a company incorporated in India, whether owned by Indians or owned by foreigners. Now, in that scenario, I could launch a satellite and operate a satellite but I will have to go through the national space agency<\/a>, which is the Department of Space. So, there's something known as MTTR \u2014 the telemetry and tracking station, that whatever happens on the satellite gets tracked through that centre.
Like that, in another instance could be that I am not an Indian incorporated company and I am a foreign company and I have a satellite in space that I wish to use for services in India. Then in that case I cannot activate the service without first getting regulatory approval to land that capacity in India. So, I have to put in the earth station, clear those frequencies and then the national agencies put their tracking and monitoring equipment so that any anti-national is then tracked and monitored, and not allowed.
What is the quantum of investment that you have made in India?<\/strong>
So, that is going on like that\u2019s now an old proposal. At that time, it was around $500 million. But, now it is more than five years old. So, we have to see now how it might get impacted with the passage of time. And, depending on the new rules when they come.
Any roadmap for India, in terms of investment, headcount, going ahead? How do you want to focus on the Indian market?
<\/strong>
The fact that we have submitted a proposal and the fact that we are waiting for this policy sort of bears testimony to the fact that we are looking at India as an option. But I think specifics will be hard to put upfront at this point in time until we see the fine print and what the detailed rules are like.
