SATCOM on the move (SOTM) refers to a system installed on a moving vehicle, whether on the ground, airborne, or marine, equipped with antennas to establish and maintain a connection to satellite networks while the vehicle is in motion. SOTM technology enhances mobility for satellite networks, providing continuous and global on-the-go access. Vehicles with SOTM capabilities can transmit live, high-definition audio and video to central stations while in motion, facilitating activities such as phone conversations, video conferences, and high-speed internet connectivity.
The various types of SATCOM on the move include equipment and services. SATCOM on the move equipment encompasses components such as amplifiers, antennas, equalizers, frequency converters, and others used for transmitting, conditioning, and receiving satellite signals. SOTM operates across different frequency bands, including C band, L band, S band, X band, Ka band, Ku band, UHF band, and SHF band. SATCOM on the move is deployed on various platforms such as land mobile, airborne, and maritime. Major verticals employing SATCOM on the move include commercial, government, and defense sectors.

This SATCOM on the move market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The satcom on the move market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $26.98 billion in 2023 to $32.26 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to the growth of emerging markets, increased investments in satellite communication infrastructure, the widespread adoption of connected vehicles, and growing investments in the space sector.
The satcom on the move market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $67.49 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in low Earth orbit satellites, strong government support, a growing demand for telecommunications, and an increasing number of satellite launches. Key trends expected during the forecast period include strategic partnerships and collaborations among market players, product innovations with a focus on government and military applications, the utilization of artificial intelligence in radio frequencies (RF), emphasis on very high throughput satellites (VHTS), and technological advancements in satellite communications.
The growth of the SATCOM on the move market is propelled by the increasing demand for customized solutions for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV). Unmanned Ground Vehicles, which operate on the ground without human operators, benefit from SATCOM-On-the-Move (SOTM) technology to enhance mission performance, combat effectiveness, and worker safety. This is particularly evident in applications such as minefield detection and traversal of barriers. General Dynamics, a prominent aerospace and defense corporation, reported a rise in its US revenue for the technology segment, encompassing a mission system product line that includes SOTM antennas for ground vehicles. The revenue increased from $11.72 billion in 2020 to $11.81 billion in 2021, underscoring the growing demand for customized SOTM solutions for UGVs and driving the SATCOM on the move market.
The SATCOM on the move market is set to experience growth due to the increasing adoption of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites across various sectors. LEO satellites are considered transformative in revolutionizing internet and digital communication. The US Space Force's Commercial Satellite Communications Office (CSCO) plans to award approximately $2.3 billion in commercial SATCOM contracts over the next two years, with a significant portion dedicated to LEO satellite broadband services. This investment in LEO satellites is expected to propel the overall growth of the satellite communication market.
A key trend in the SATCOM on the move market is the focus on product innovations by major companies. To cater to government and military applications, companies in this market are introducing innovative products. For example, ComClark Network and Technology Corporation, a Philippines-based ICT and broadcast services provider, launched SATCOM on the Move (SOTM) in March 2023. This SOTM solution, designed as a system integrator and value-added service provider, ensures always-on connectivity for mobile users, including emergency responders, government agencies, and businesses. The solution utilizes satellite communications to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access.
Companies in the SATCOM on the move market are also integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into radio frequencies (RF) to strengthen their market position. AI is being harnessed to advance RF technology, bringing a traditional technology into the modern era. CENOS LLC, a Latvia-based CAE software company, launched RF 2.0 in June 2022, targeting radio frequency and antenna design projects. This new tool expands coverage across a broader RF design spectrum and enhances workflow management and the user experience, showcasing the integration of AI in RF.
In March 2022, SES S.A., a Luxembourg-based satellite and telecommunications network company, acquired the SATCOM business of Leonardo DRS for $450 million. This acquisition enhances SES's core capabilities and emphasizes incremental technological development and the creation of market-changing technology. Leonardo DRS, a US-based company specializing in communication satellites, adds value to SES's position in the SATCOM on the move market.
