The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way that modern businesses operate. At the end of 2021, there were an estimated 31 billion devices being used worldwide. IoT is enabling a new wave of innovation, from automated vehicles to factories where temperature and cooling systems can be adjusted without any human intervention.

According to a 2020 study issued by the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), three in ten people across Latin America — some 244 million—have no internet. That number is now shrinking, thanks to the efforts of several satellite broadband internet service providers including Hughes, Andesat, and Gilat who are bringing connectivity to some of the wildest and most remote parts of the region.

Dragonfly, a specialist security intelligence firm, helps organisations stay a step ahead of security and crisis risks. We spoke with the company’s newly appointed Head of Advisory, Cvete Koneska, to get her opinion on the risks facing the satellite and space industries now that sanctions have been placed against Russia.

War and disaster are an unfortunate staple of our news cycles. In such times of hardship, the mission critical communications that connect aid workers can be the only hope of the victims of catastrophe. With exclusive comment from Najwa Natalie Ayoub, Market Development Manager for Government and the UN-NGO/Relief Sector at Thuraya, we take a look at the sector.

Satellite communications (satcoms) are increasingly critical for global security, prosperity, and competitiveness amongst nations. They’ve become a priceless tool for defence, security, humanitarian and emergency response, and diplomatic communications. It is of paramount importance for any national defence or multi-national government satcom strategy to take into consideration the innovations happening in space and on the ground to ensure an operational edge.

Andrew Bond, Sales and Marketing Director told us about how the company views current connectivity challenges, and what needs to be done to overcome them

Many have regarded space as being above the ups and owns of Earthly politics, and for good reason. Since the creation of the International Space Station (ISS) and the 1998 signing of Space Station Treaty by the United States, the European Union, Canada, Japan, and Russia, astronauts and cosmonauts have worked side by side on scientific experiments and technological advances that have benefited Earth’s inhabitants. However, Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has now jeopardized not only the balance of power aboard the ISS, but also the multi-national satellite and space industry itself.

The re-allocation of C-band for mid-band wide area coverage of 5G presents increased interference issues between new networks and existing RF systems.
