  • About author:HAN Lei (1978- ) graduated from Xi’an Jiaotong University with a Master’s degree in Com- puter Science and Technology. He is the founder of Satpro M&C and Marinesat. He found-ed Satpro in 2007. He used GPS/INS fusion technology to solve the accurate tracking of the SOTM antennas. By adopting the technology, the tracking accuracy is more precise than before and the cost for SOTM manufacturing is reduced, which made the SOTM products used extensively in civil markets and found a new market for SOTM, not only in the military or government as before. This technology also awarded by China Science Technology Depart- ment.

Abstract: Compared with the ever-changing development and changes of land communications, the development of maritime communications lags behind slightly, particularly on the offshore platform due to the complex and change-able environment, as well as the extremely difficult construction. However, the development of High Throughput Satellite (HTS) has changed the market pattern for traditional satellite communications, and its advanced technology concept ensures the rapid growth of maritime communications business. This article mainly analyzes the demand and current status of maritime satellite communications, discusses and expounds the commercial opportunities HTS satel-lites will bring to the era of maritime communications satellite.
