SpaceX Launches Maxar's 3rd and 4th WorldView Satellites

Maxar successfully launched its third and fourth WorldView Legion satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. These satellites have begun communicating with Maxar’s ground teams and are now undergoing the commissioning process, with the first images expected in early fall. Positioned in mid-inclination orbit (MIO), these satellites will significantly boost Maxar’s ability to capture high-resolution, 30 cm-class imagery throughout the day, especially in regions frequently affected by weather events such as morning fog. These WorldView Legion satellites are equipped with advanced optical instruments from RTX's Raytheon, enabling them to capture the high-resolution 30 cm-class imagery that Maxar is known for, further enhancing their geospatial intelligence capabilities.

With the addition of these two satellites, Maxar’s constellation now consists of eight satellites in orbit, including four next-generation WorldView Legion satellites. The enhanced capacity provided by these satellites will enable Maxar to meet the growing global demand for high-resolution data. The company is set to launch the remaining two satellites in this block later this year, further expanding its ability to deliver real-time geospatial intelligence to both government and commercial customers.

• Third and fourth WorldView Legion satellites launched aboard SpaceX Falcon 9.
• Satellites positioned in mid-inclination orbit to enhance dawn-to-dusk imaging.
• First images from the new satellites expected in early fall 2024.
• Maxar’s constellation now includes eight operational satellites.
• Additional two WorldView Legion satellites to be launched later this year.

Zayo Report Reveals 106% Surge in DDoS Attacks

 Zayo released its latest Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Insights Report, revealing a significant surge in cyber threats. The report shows a staggering 106% increase in DDoS attack frequency compared to the second half of 2023. Additionally, the average duration of these attacks has risen to 45 minutes, an 18% increase from last year, costing unprotected organizations approximately $270,000 per attack. The growing sophistication of AI-driven, bot-based attacks has made it easier for attackers to launch more frequent, sustained, and high-impact assaults across various industries.

The report highlights the pervasive impact of AI in escalating the scale and scope of DDoS attacks. For the first time, industries such as HR, legal, consulting, and transportation have emerged as top targets for the largest DDoS attacks. Zayo warns that if this trend continues, DDoS attacks could rise by another 24% by the end of the year. The report underscores the importance of adding protection to tech stacks as the primary defense against these increasingly persistent and frequent attacks.

Key Findings:

• Telecommunications remains the most targeted industry, accounting for 57% of all attacks, followed by education (19%), manufacturing (5%), and cloud/SaaS (5%).
• Manufacturing has overtaken retail as the industry facing the largest DDoS attacks, with a 308% increase in attack duration and a 200% increase in attack size compared to 2023.
• Healthcare saw a 128.5% rise in attack frequency, placing it among the most affected industries.
• Government entities experienced the longest-duration attacks, averaging over six hours, a 41% increase from H1 2023.

Dell'Oro: Lowered Forecast for Mobile Backhaul Transport

Demand for mobile backhaul transport equipment is projected to be $24.5 billion over the next five years. This figure represents the cumulative amount of transport systems that will be deployed from 2024 through 2028, according to a new report from Dell'Oro Group.

“We lowered the near-term forecast by approximately 6 percent since 5G rollouts have dramatically slowed at some operators while others are delaying deployments,” said Jimmy Yu, Vice President of Dell’Oro Group. “However, we believe that all operators will eventually roll out 5G to its fullest potential. Therefore, we believe the 5G build cycle will be more gradual and calculated. Thus, we have transplanted the reduction in mobile backhaul demand forecasted in 2024 and 2025 to the outer years of the forecast time period, creating a more moderate rise in demand over the next five years,” added Yu.

Additional highlights from the Microwave Transmission & Mobile Backhaul 5-Year Forecast July 2024 Report:

• Demand for mobile backhaul equipment, consisting of both wireless and fiber systems, to be used in 5G networks is forecast to grow at a five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13 percent.
• Use of Wireless Systems for backhaul is projected to grow at a higher rate than Fiber Systems in the next five years since more mobile radio deployments are expected to occur in countries that mostly use point-to-point microwave transmission systems for mobile backhaul.

Dell'Oro: Dropping Prices and Lower Demand for WLAN

 Wireless LAN (WLAN) revenues are expected to drop 13 percent in 2024, with lower prices exacerbating depressed demand, according to a new report from Dell'Oro Group.  Meanwhile, vendors sensitive to eroding prices are cutting back on some functions of their Wi-Fi 7 APs, and this is expected to increase the adoption of the new technology over the next five years.

“The digestion of previous WLAN shipments and the cautiousness of some enterprises due to macro-economic conditions has caused a dramatic drop in revenues in the past two quarters,” said Siân Morgan, Research Director at Dell’Oro Group. “We expect to see signs of recovery in 4Q 2024 once excess inventory is flushed through the system, and the market returns to demand-driven dynamics.

“IT budgets are stretched. On one hand, enterprises are under pressure to figure out how Generative AI can revolutionize their businesses. On the other hand, companies need highly performing networks to enable digital transformations. Vendors sensitive to these pressures are releasing cost-effective Wi-Fi 7 APs which will help accelerate the adoption of this latest generation of Wi-Fi,” added Morgan.

Additional highlights from the Wireless LAN 5-Year July 2024 Forecast Report:

• AIOps features are driving up license revenues and delivering significant value to enterprises facing labor difficulties.
• Wi-Fi 6E adoption is still growing but will be eclipsed by Wi-Fi 7 in 2025.
• If the closing of HPE’s acquisition of Juniper Networks is delayed due to regulatory concerns, WLAN revenues could suffer as enterprises opt to wait before buying.
• The first AP shipments of the standard expected to be branded as ‘Wi-Fi 8’ are expected in 2028 and will be focused on increasing reliability instead of expanding capacity.
