Paris, Washington D.C., Montreal, Yokohama - According to Euroconsult’s latest report, High Throughput Satellites (HTS) have continued their proliferation since late 2014 as over 20 new systems were ordered, including an eight satellite expansion order by O3b.

Despite the lag in anticipated supply growth, demand for HTS capacity has accelerated more sharply than anticipated, leading to a significant upwards revision to leased HTS capacity estimates in 2015, largely fuelled by a deepening market shift towards bulk capacity leasing and rapidly increasing data usage per end-user.
