Satellite networks are seen as having the potential to play an important role in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things, which in turn is seen as being important to a number of service sectors. However, certain M2M application have bounded latency requirements that in some cases may be quite stringent. Satellite networks general much higher latency that wired networks and therefore may not be able to meet the requirements of all M2M applications. This paper compares the latency requirements of certain time-critical applications with reported satellite network latency and address the problem of latency evaluation of networks support these types of application including those involving satellite links.
