LEO SAT COURIER is using satellite interlinks. If required, the information can be transferred from satellite to satellite within the COURIER system which enables the user to communicate via his mobile phone from any place at any time. Technical innovation as well as enormous demand for satellite-based services, especially in the fields of communication and navigation will result in tremendous growths in the following years. The market growths prognosis for mobile telecommunication is presently estimated at EUR$ 250 billion. * The Market Research is predicting a potential of more than 25 million executives who need to be reached around the clock at any place in the world. ** Satellite communication is not only meant for globally operating executives, but provides also an immense potential for developing countries. Presently, some 80% of the world’s surface and 40% of the world population do not have access to traditional telecommunication infrastructures, such as wired and mobile telephone services. 2.5 billon people living on this planet have never made a telephone call in their life. Communication via satellite is the only medium to offer worldwide telecommunication services for these regions and people very fast and at reasonable costs. The connection of each household in the world to a (glass) fiber network, for example, needs investments of some US-$ 300 billion, whereas the investment in a globally operating satellite system would amount to US-$ 9 billion only. *** |
