To scan the state of the SD-WAN/satellite access market, let’s take a look at how some leading cloud providers are extending their services to draw satellite connections into their clouds:
Smaller satellites, optical ground stations, cheaper launch mechanisms, and streamlined antenna setups not only will improve satellite connections to SD-WAN but will open new markets for equipment and services. Still, plans to bring satellite connections into managed cloud services is forcing innovation. SD-WAN spending has slowed up for the moment, and markets associated with cloud computing will likely move in fits and starts. And everyone hopes the resulting high tide of demand for high-bandwidth applications like IoT analytics, machine learning, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles will float all boats. Likewise, satellite makers and service providers are working to improve the traditional issues of satellite networking, like cost and network performance. Many SD-WAN providers see satellite links as key to edge compute setups, along with 5G and other access technologies. Now that software-defined networking (SD-WAN) heralds the transformation of enterprise and government networks, satellite connections are experiencing a makeover as well.

For decades, satellite networks have linked many offshore or offline locations to the enterprise WAN - from oil rigs in the North Sea to mining locations in Africa to shipping lanes through the Persian Gulf.
