Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/21/2015 -- An FSS is a type of satellite service that uses geosynchronous satellites for broadcasting purposes, such as TV and radio, telecommunications, and satellite communication. The major end-users of FSS are government, military organizations, small and large enterprises, and others. This satellite service helps provide a valuable source of information to national intelligence and security organizations to reduce crime and terrorism. The service is categorized into two major types: wholesale service and managed service. The satellites used for FSS have a low power output, and they require larger dish-style antennas for reception. FSS works on three bands: C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band.

Technavio's analysts forecast the FSS market in North America to grow at a CAGR of 0.76% over the period 2014-2019.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said: "Owing to government regulations and market consolidation, the capacity of C-band and Ku-band is expected to decline during the forecast period. Hence, transponder utilization of existing satellites will increase significantly. The rate of transponder utilization has also been increasing because of regulations for desirable orbital slots management. In addition, fixed satellite service operators are maximizing the value of their most valuable, assigned orbital slots by co-locating multiple satellites in the same slot. Hence, the increasing utilization rate of transponders is indirectly contributing to the growth of the market over the next few years."
