EchoStar’s rapid sequence of contracts, cancellations, and the FCC’s warning raises questions about strategy and timing. Industry insiders say the moves reshaped the competitive landscape for S-band D2D services and left significant winners and losers.
Operators are seeing only modest 1–2% annual uplifts from connectivity while saturated markets and low-cost challengers cap the upside. Operators must decide whether to reinvest core profits into high-risk bets like AI or accept slower, predictable returns.
Researchers found hundreds of trojanized packages and a self-replicating worm that steals developer credentials and injects malicious GitHub Actions workflows. Organizations must harden dependency hygiene, enforce strict token and workflow controls, and monitor for anomalous publish activity.
A graphing calculator has more processing power than most satellites. To pursue the next generation of space missions, operators will need better and faster compute capabilities in orbit. Read the top four takeaways from our conversation with Edward Ge, co-founder and CEO of Aethero.
Eleven satellite imaging firms have formed the Remote Sensing Collective to urge ITU members to preserve the 8.025–8.4 GHz band exclusively for Earth-observation satellites. With global regulators set to decide at Shanghai’s WRC-27, opening X-Band to terrestrial 5G could undermine future military surveillance and disaster-response imaging.
Connectivity revenue often falls below USD 1 ARPC, making scale essential for a profitable IoT division. Operators under this threshold must consider bold strategies—acquisitions, MVNO partnerships or wholesale pivots—to secure sustainable returns.
Discover how the new Inbound Link Establishment protocol enables automatic link monitoring and rapid failover in seconds, minimizing mission disruption across satellites and ground segments. From NATO’s PlugFest evaluations to MILCOM 2025 workshop sessions, dive into the interoperability and scalability solutions shaping tomorrow’s resilient networks.
In today’s space environment, cislunar space is the ultimate high ground. Elvis Silva of Blue Canyon Technologies, RTX’s smallsat manufacturer, explained why building infrastructure in cislunar space will soon be critical. Read our top four takeaways.
With orbital traffic surging and debris proliferating, integrating real-time satellite tracking, space weather monitoring and threat characterization has become essential for both civil safety and national security. Investing in dual-use sensor networks and advanced analytics will empower nations to detect adversary intent, maintain freedom of action and secure the next decade of space assets.
