Explained: How COVID-19 changes the Future outlook for Mobile Satellite Phone Market

Satellite phone is a telephone or mobile phone that has the ability to connect to orbiting satellites through radio signals. Satellite phones are similar to terrestrial mobile phones as they can connect to voice and short messaging service (SMS) as well as low bandwidth internet access. The advantage of a satellite phone is that its use is not restricted to the areas covered by cell towers. Satellite phones are specifically used for rescue missions, military purposes, mitigation of natural disasters, and public safety, and can be used in all or most terrestrial locations on the Earth’s surface. The newer models of satellite phones are also lighter, smaller, and provide better functionalities & features than ordinary mobile phones.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Industry

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a restraining impact on the global mobile satellite phone market in 2020. This is mainly due to the lockdown restrictions that resulted in complete shutdown of factories and disruption in supply chains. However, many key players of the market took initiatives to sustain during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, in July 2020, Blue Sky Network, a global satellite technology company and an Iridium Satellite Communications partner, announced the launch of the first & only protected docking station, ‘9575A Docking Station,’ for the ‘Iridium 9575A satellite phone.’ The Iridium 9575A is the only commercial mobile satellite phone that has the capability for Type I encryption accredited by the U.S. NSA (National Security Agency) for top secret voice communications. Thus, initiatives taken by key players is expected to help the market witness a rise in the growth rate during the forecast period.
