Military is always in the forefront of tech. Here is something interesting to read.
Stockmarket is always looking forward and these are things you need to know when you are buying into a certain industry.

Frost & Sullivan’s (News - Alert) recent report “Military Satellite Communications - Business and R&D Prospects” gives an overview of key global developments and trends in military satellite communications.
 
The report notes that military satellite communications have developed significantly since the launch of the first artificial satellite more than half a century ago.
 
Today, satellite communications are the core of all military communications, especially during wars on foreign territory and unfriendly terrains. Contemporary satellite links support a significant amount of IP traffic, especially video feeds and high-resolution imagery, apart from conventional voice communications.
 
Additionally, new applications such as communications-on-the-move and ballistic missile defense are opening up considerable business opportunities for technology vendors and solution developers in the military satellite communications sector.
 
“A key trend in contemporary military satellite communications is the COTM facility that has become critical for mobile command and control operations, specifically during counter-insurgency operations in mountainous terrain without traditional communication infrastructure,” Frost & Sullivan research analysts report. “The rise of COTM capabilities is the main accelerating factor for military satellite communications as it facilitates enhanced situational awareness in real time, while on the move, and broadens the scope for technology vendors.”
 
Technological developments such as improved satellite network communications protocols and novel compact antennas with signal locking capabilities are greatly speeding up the adoption of COTM solutions.
 
According to the report, bandwidth insufficiency continues to be one of the biggest challenges in military satellite communications impacting the deployment of COTM and similar applications requiring significant bandwidth.
