Satellite-Based Connected Car Market Not Hitting the Gas Yet, NSR Says

Despite hype about connected car market opportunities for satellite-based flat panel antennas, that FPA market "remains elusive and still many years away from being realized," Northern Sky Research analyst Dallas Kasaboski blogged Wednesday. Successful deployment for FPA manufacturers could be lucrative, but the use cases are poorly defined and the technology and price points haven't reached levels that would open the door to widespread adoption, he said. Other land-mobile FPA applications like connected buses and trainers are further along, he said, estimating cumulative equipment revenues for land-mobile FPA applications to hit $94 million over the next decade.
