SpaceX公司希望印度的新卫星通信政策关注访问,而不是价格
“由于卫星宽带可以改善和拯救生命在印度偏远地区很重要,即将到来的卫星通信政策更关注于访问和减少对定价,“Sanjay Bhargava印度SpaceX的我们操作,告诉当地的电视频道。
这是新世纪以来宽带从太空技术通过众多的低地球轨道(LEO)卫星可能至少7到8倍陆地宽带服务。
“由于卫星宽带可以改善和拯救生命在印度偏远地区,非常重要的是即将到来的卫星通信政策更关注于访问和减少对定价,”桑杰Bhargava,印度SpaceX的我们操作,告诉当地的电视频道。
印度Spacecom期待已久的新政策可能会强调LEO卫星系统运营商的重要作用促进宽带覆盖,特别是在印度农村。这一点,即使Bharti-backed OneWeb和SpaceX公司准备明年在印度推出高速卫星宽带服务。
SpaceX公司最近在印度注册拥有100%股权的子公司,我们卫星通信Pvt Ltd (SSCPL),这将使他们开始申请执照,开始试验谱部署我们连接在德里学校。据报道,这将是申请限制商业执照紧随其后。
SpaceX,事实上,希望选框全球投资者将希望泵顶部美元如果印度可以投10亿美元的卫星收入机会。“如果我们能向世界展示,有大约100万(访问)点在印度,其中每个点有能力支付1000美元(Rs 5000约)卫星宽带,那么市场(机会)将10亿美元的年收入,“Bhargava说。
SpaceX发射53我们卫星送入轨道
我们是一个基于卫星的全球互联网系统,SpaceX是多年积累的结果让互联网接入缺医少药地区的世界。
不过,Bhargava说,虽然我们可以扮演催化剂的角色,提供卫星宽带(连接),它将需要使用跨域的一系列解决方案提供商,包括教育、行业、旅游餐馆。
本月早些时候,他曾表示,SpaceX公司将开始讨论与印度的电信公司潜在的合作提供高速卫星宽带服务在印度难以抵达地区。
Bhargava发表上述言论之际,OneWeb, SpaceX,亚马逊和Tata-Telesat结合准备进入印度的相对新兴的快速broadband-from-space段,利用各自的低地球轨道(LEO)卫星星座。
印度被视为一个关键新兴卫星互联网市场一个年收入超过10亿美元的机会。这是自近75%的印度农村还没有宽带接入许多地方仍然没有细胞或纤维连接。LEO卫星系统被视为一个可行的选择。

This is since new-age broadband from space technology via numerous low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites is likely to be at least 7-to-8 times more expensive than terrestrial broadband services.
\u201cSince satellite broadband can improve and save lives in India\u2019s remote regions, it\u2019s pretty important that the upcoming satcom<\/a> policy focuses more on access and less on pricing,\u201d Sanjay Bhargava<\/a>, the India head of SpaceX\u2019s Starlink<\/a> operation, told a local TV channel.
<\/div><\/div>Starlink\u2019s Bhargava said an LEO-based satellite internet service, typically, requires \u201clarge numbers of such satellites to move very fast to cover the earth,\u201d which makes it \"at least 7-to-8 times more expensive than terrestrial broadband,\" especially as the software requirements to manage such operations are very tough.
India\u2019s much-awaited new Spacecom policy is likely to underline the critical role of LEO satellite system operators in boosting broadband coverage, particularly in rural India. This, even as Bharti-backed OneWeb and SpaceX prepare to launch high-speed satellite broadband services in India next year.
SpaceX recently registered a 100% owned subsidiary in India, Starlink Satellite Communications Pvt Ltd (SSCPL), which will enable them to start applying for licences, starting with trial spectrum to deploy Starlink connections in Delhi schools. This will reportedly be followed by an application for a restricted commercial licence.
SpaceX, in fact, is hopeful that marquee global investors would be keen to pump in top dollars if India can be pitched as a $1 billion satellite revenue opportunity. \u201cIf we are able to show the world that there may be around 1 million (access) points in India, where each point has the ability to pay $1,000 (Rs 7,5000 approx) a year for satellite broadband, then the market (opportunity) will be $1 billion of annual revenue,\u201d Bhargava said.

<\/div><\/div>Such a potential scenario, he added, would encourage many to invest in the country\u2019s emerging satellite broadband sector and pave the way for India's very own satellite constellation. \u201cIndia is very good in the space (segment) with a lot of talent, and if it\u2019s able to attract capital, it\u2019s only a matter of time when we will have a fully Indian satellite constellation,\u201d the Starlink India<\/a> head said.
