卫星互联网被国家发改委纳划定为"新基建"信息基础设施之一,作为卫星通信的重要应用场景,民航领域的航空互联网有着广阔的发展前景。世界各国对航空互联网开展了长期广泛的探索,民航业发展较为成熟的美国、欧洲相继推出了ATG、Ku、Ka等技术方案,并在近10年的发展历程中形成了广阔的市场空间和深厚的用户基础。随着我国民航业发展水平不断提升和相关监管政策的逐渐放开,我国航空互联网即将迎来大发展,并加速带动上下游产业形成规模可观的价值集群。
近年,航空机载通信逐渐由ATG向Ku/Ka高通量过渡,不断提升的网络带宽和服务能力,完全满足用户日益丰富的机上需求,为用户带来更加便捷丰富的机上互联网体验。同时,飞机前舱、后舱通信不断涌现的应用场景,有力支撑乘客使用及航班运控管理等需求,并衍生出内容生产分发、设备制造维修及智能服务等众多上下游需求,对产业需求的牵引带动作用十分明显。国际航空互联网市场渐趋饱和,国内市场发展潜力巨大,我国民航业机队规模数量不断增长,机载网络需求规模巨大,有望带动亚太地区成为全球最大的航空互联网市场。
The satellite Internet is classified as one of the "new infrastructure" information infrastructures by the National Development and Reform Commission. As an important application scene of satellite communication, the aviation Internet in the field of civil aviation has a broad development prospect. All countries around the world have carried out long-term and extensive exploration of aviation Internet. The United States and Europe with relatively mature development of civil aviation industry have successively launched ATG, Ku, Ka, and other technical solutions, and formed a broad market space and a profound user base in the recent 10 years. With the continuous improvement of China's civil aviation development level and the gradual opening up of relevant regulatory policies, China's aviation Internet will usher in great development, and accelerate the formation of a sizable value cluster in the upstream and downstream industries.
In recent years, aviation airborne communication has gradually shifted from ATG to Ku/Ka with high throughput. The constantly improved network bandwidth and service capability fully meet the increasingly rich in-flight needs of users and bring them a more convenient and rich in-flight Internet experience. At the same time, the constantly emerging application scenarios of aircraft forward cabin and rear cabin communication strongly support passenger use and flight control and management requirements and give rise to numerous upstream and downstream demands such as content production and distribution, equipment manufacturing and maintenance, and intelligent service, which play an obvious role in pulling and driving the industrial demand. The international aviation Internet market is becoming saturated, and the domestic market has huge development potential. The size of China's civil aviation industry fleet keeps growing, and the scale of airborne network demand is huge, which is expected to drive the Asia-Pacific region to become the world's largest aviation Internet market.
