==Future applications==

Advances in technology have dramatically improved the [[price–performance ratio]] of [[fixed satellite service]] (FSS) over the past five years. New VSAT systems are coming online using {{Ka band}} technology that promise higher data rates for lower costs.

FSS systems currently in orbit have a huge capacity with a relatively low price structure. FSS systems provide various applications for subscribers, including: [[telephony]], [[fax]], [[television]], high-speed [[data communication]] services, Internet access, [[satellite news gathering]] (SNG), [[Digital Audio Broadcasting]] (DAB) and others. These systems provide high-quality service because they create efficient communication systems for both residential and business users.
