So what Exactly is HTS ?
• By definition, High Throughput Satellites
(HTS) are the new breed of satellites
which are able to support data rates
which are higher (typically ten-fold) the
traditional satellite capacity. They can
be Ka as well as Ku.
• How do they do this?
• By incorporating the principle of
frequency reuse
• So the traditional large regional
beams are now split into smaller spot
beams. (typically 1 to 2% of that of a
traditional beam.)

What Next
OK. So I choose HTS for
Bandwidth. How about the
Ground Segment? Where
should I look for it?
