Last month at IBC 2023, Intelsat showcased its new content distribution system, IntelsatOne IP. Irecently talked to Pascale Fromont, Vice President and General Manager, Media Business at Intelsat to find out how customers will integrate this into their workflows.

With the ever increasing demand for connectivity around the world, the need for more satellite capacity is growing. One of the companies increasing their global coverage is Viasat with their ViaSat-3 constellation. I recently talked to Craig Miller, President of Government Systems at Viasat to hear how they will help connect people to the information they need.

We’ve all had that moment where we take our phone out to make that all important call and see the dreaded ‘no-service’. For many of us this is just a temporary interruption to our day but for over 3 billion people this is a regular occurrence. Building the infrastructure on the ground to cover these areas is prohibitive due to these mainly being in remote locations. This is where the cell-tower-in- space comes into play. A LEO constellation that allows for worldwide service. At the forefront of bringing this to reality is Lynk and I recently talked to Charles Miller, Co-founder and CEO to find out more on the technology behind this.

With the boom of LEO (Low Earth Orbit) & MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellites being launched over the last 12 months and the packed future launch schedules being announced, I wanted to explore how this was impacting the Ground Segment of the satellite industry, namely High Power Amplifier, and the challenges this brings.
