Satellite telecommunications activities

NACE code 61.30 covers the satellite telecommunications industry, which plays a vital role in modern global communication networks. 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 essential for a wide range of applications, from international telephony and internet access to satellite television broadcasting and emergency communication services, making it a crucial component of the broader telecommunications sector.

The key 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 transmission infrastructure, and the implementation of complex software systems to manage satellite operations. Satellite telecommunications providers must also maintain and continuously upgrade their networks to keep pace with evolving technology and increasing demand for bandwidth and coverage.

The main inputs required for the satellite telecommunications industry include specialized satellite hardware, such as transponders, antennas, and power systems, as well as advanced electronics and software. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled engineers and technicians to design, build, and operate the satellite networks. Access to launch facilities and the availability of radio spectrum for satellite communications are also critical inputs for this industry.

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 other NACE codes, such as 61.10 Wired telecommunications activities, 61.20 Wireless telecommunications activities, 60.20 Television programming and broadcasting activities, and 63.11 Data processing, hosting and related activities. Satellite telecommunications also enable the delivery of services in remote or hard-to-reach areas, making it an essential component of the global communications infrastructure.
