Satellite telecommunications activities

isic code 613 covers satellite telecommunications activities, which play a crucial role in the global communication infrastructure. This industry is responsible for the operation of satellite-based communication systems, enabling the transmission of voice, data, and video signals across vast distances. Satellite telecommunications are particularly important for providing connectivity to remote and underserved regions, as well as supporting critical applications such as navigation, weather monitoring, and disaster response.

The main production techniques in the satellite telecommunications industry involve the design, launch, and operation of satellite systems. This includes the manufacture of satellite hardware, the development of ground-based control and monitoring systems, and the deployment of satellite networks. Satellite operators use advanced technologies such as 2620 Manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment and 2630 Manufacture of communication equipment to build and maintain their infrastructure.

The satellite telecommunications industry requires a range of specialized inputs, including advanced electronics, precision engineering, and sophisticated software. Key inputs include satellite components, such as transponders, antennas, and power systems, as well as ground-based infrastructure like control centers and user terminals. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled personnel, including engineers, technicians, and operators, to design, launch, and maintain the satellite systems.

The primary outputs of the satellite telecommunications industry are the provision of various communication services, including voice, data, and video transmission. These services are consumed by a wide range of industries, including 61 Telecommunications, 62 Computer programming, consultancy and related activities, and 72 Scientific research and development. Satellite telecommunications also support critical applications in fields such as 52 Warehousing and support activities for transportation, 84 Public administration and defence; compulsory social security, and 85 Education.
