How AppLogic Networks Helps Satellite Service Providers Deliver Quality for Less


Mobile subscribers have grown accustomed to two little icons in the top-right corner of their smartphones: one for cellular coverage and one for Wi-Fi coverage. Now, a new icon is emerging that is extending coverage to some of the remotest locations on earth.

Direct-to-cell (D2C) service uses standard LTE and 5G phones to directly connect smartphones to satellite. It can provide services like texting, calling, or basic data. And, it is rapidly gaining momentum with both satellite providers and mobile service providers.

The New Space Economy
Tightly coupled with this new Direct-to-cell technology is the emergence of a new space economy, where Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are being deployed in mass quantities. As a result, the number of satellites in space is growing at an exceptional rate.

In 2020, the number of satellites was under 4,000. Today, there are more than 10,000 satellites. And by 2030, some expect there will be nearly 60,000 satellites orbiting the earth.

Expanding and Optimizing Satellite Networks
As service providers prepare to expand their footprint via D2C and LEO technology, the need for traffic visibility and management is paramount, not only for reducing network costs, but also for delivering personalized services that exceed subscriber expectations. With AppLogic Network's industry-leading, AI-powered, enhanced classification capabilities, satellite service providers can leverage the best and most accurate data to reduce network costs, and usher in new services across new markets while assuring optimal performance.

AppLogic Networks and Satellite
AppLogic Networks has a long history working with both mobile and satellite service providers. We have built an extensive portfolio that has been adapted to address the multiple requirements of this newly blended market.

Our portfolio begins with our flagship product, AppLogic, the world’s leading application classification engine. It extends to capabilities that will help you analyze, optimize, and monetize your satellite services.

In this emerging era of composite terrestrial and non-terrestrial systems, AppLogic Networks enables you to monitor subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE), Key network Performance Indicators (KPIs), and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) across the end-to-end satellite network.

We’ll help you manage traffic to minimize satellite bandwidth costs while optimizing QoE. And we’ll enable new revenue streams and ensure billing records are accurate.

Are you looking for a business partner to make your satellite venture a success? AppLogic Networks is the partner you need. Please contact us to learn more, or stop by booth #1820 at the 2025 Satellite Show in Washington, D.C, March 11-13, to see a live demonstration of our solutions in action.
