As 5G networks proliferate around the globe, the industry is increasingly looking to take the technology into new and remote areas, where previously coverage has been uneconomic or unviable. To deliver this, operators and vendors are looking at the possibilities of using satellites to deliver 5G service.

Complex supply chains, engineering workforce labor shortages, and evolving expectations around sustainability are some of the many challenges that the satellite industry faces today. Wire-arc additive manufacturing can play a significant role in helping satellite manufacturers optimize prototype production and deliver solutions more cost effectively.

The remote sensing industry is expected to double over the next five years from about US$6 billion today to over US$11 billion by 2031. Deloitte recently identified Space Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) as the biggest key driver of growth for companies in the space value chain. Existing and additional downstream commercial verticals will grow their reliance on space-derived Earth observation (EO) data as a viable source of business intelligence. However, there still remains significant barriers to acquiring current and near-real time space-derived EO information.

We spend a great deal of money getting satellites into orbit only to disable and destroy them after a few short years. Once we can refuel them, the paradigm will shift dramatically. Not only will on orbit refueling reduce upfront capital, but it will also vastly improve utilization and extend the lifespan of the satellite. We interviewed Daniel Faber, Orbit Fab’s Founder and CEO, to find out more about how his company will revolutionize the way we use our space-based assets.

Mission Microwave Technologies was founded in 2014 with a single ambition: to create the next generation of Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) and Block Up Converters (BUCs). The company manufactures a range of Gallium Nitride (GaN) based RF and microwave electronics for antennas built by leading players in the satellite industry for defense and commercial use. We spoke with Mission Microwave and several of their customers to pinpoint how and why Mission’s unique cylindrical BUCs are enabling mission critical applications.

Organizations around the world are recognizing the opportunities offered by sensor technology to improve operations. As a result, the operational IoT market is expanding. Systems integrators (SIs) must now build business cases for Satellite IoT (SatIoT) to reap the benefits.

Over the last few years, more businesses and fleet organizations have begun to rely on the use of telematics that can benefit operational efficiencies and the bottom line. This article will explain the difference between telematics and embedded telematics, how they are used, and how these benefits serve many different audiences, from business users to organizational stakeholders.

Over a decade ago, South Africa-based technology journalist, Toby Shapshak, wrote “... Africa is not just a mobile-first continent. It is mobile-only.” While much has changed in those ten years, including Africa becoming the second largest mobile phone market in the world, that statement still rings true.

Cosmonova Broadcast is a reliable supplier of innovative products and a partner of a significant number of providers, operators and TV channels in Ukraine and a number of other countries. Every day millions of people watch impressive video content prepared, processed, streamed, delivered and broadcast through Cosmonova Broadcast's services.

As technology continues to advance, especially in the realm of data transmission, hybrid connectivity has gained significant popularity as a strategy for optimizing communications. This approach promises a seamless integration of various network technologies, offering improved reliability, flexibility, and performance. However, upon closer scrutiny, it becomes evident that what is often believed to be hybrid connectivity does not truly meet the criteria.

Satellite broadcast services have bridged many gaps by facilitating access to real-time global information worldwide, including in remote and underserved areas. Despite these undeniable advancements, satellite broadcasting faces unprecedented challenges in keeping up with rapidly emerging technologies that transcend latency, distance, cost, scalability, and bandwidth limitations to broadcast information more efficiently and extensively. This begs the question, is satellite broadcasting technology becoming obsolete, and what does the future hold for the industry? We asked Northtelecom’s Group Chief Technology and Information Officer, Mr. Mahdi Mehrabi, to answer this question.
