The Role and Future of Satellite Internet of Things in Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry has relied almost exclusively on geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) satellites with some medium Earth orbit use, with the latter having been limited by the expensive satellite tracking mechanical apparatus. The advent of low Earth orbit satellites will greatly impact the satellite bandwidth costs for crew welfare and nonreal-time operations, but the industry will still rely on the C-band GEOs for the next five years until the reliability of the flat panel array and Ku/Ka-band achieves similar reliability levels as the very small aperture terminal and C-band.
