This walkthrough explores how to leverage Amazon Forecast to derive valuable business insights in satellite communications use-cases. Operations teams can quickly see accurate satellite capacity forecasts on a per beam basis. The benefits include lower cost via provisioning just the right amount of bandwidth, and a more streamlined customer experience since users will be less impacted by weather or surge events.

Last December, AWS announced the expansion of its collaboration with the U.S. NOAA to make environmental data easier to access and use through the Big Data Program. Users can now access new, authoritative NOAA data on AWS without needing to download and store their own copies. Researchers and entrepreneurs can deploy compute resources on-demand in the cloud, perform analysis quickly and efficiently, and save costs by letting researchers ask more questions and experiment more easily. One of the foundational datasets now available on AWS through this collaboration is Himawari-8, the Japan Meteorological Agency’s satellite dataset.
