Expanding beyond traditional battlefields, the Israel-Iran conflict now includes a dramatic surge in cyberattacks and widespread GNSS interference that directly impacts commercial and government space assets. These events show that as geopolitical tensions rise, the space sector is increasingly viewed as a legitimate and strategic target.
GPS and PNT signals rely on a weak RF signal that is highly vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. One alternative is quantum communication technology, which uses entangled photons to deliver a highly accurate timing signal. Read our top four takeaways.
China and Russia have been developing and practicing techniques, tactics and procedures that are reshaping the operating environment in space and rapidly closing the capability gap in on-orbit maneuver warfare.
One of the first casualties of a natural disaster is the network and communications infrastructure needed for a coordinated, collaborative, and effective response. Peter Kibutu of TPP and Mohammad Baig of AT&T explain how D2D satellite connectivity can be a new tool in delivering ubiquitous connectivity to emergency and disaster response personnel when the lights go out.
Industry officials believe Elon Musk’s recent controversial behavior presents a golden opportunity for Europe’s space sector to counter the threat from his companies, SpaceX and Starlink. As customers express concern about relying on a single American provider, European companies like Eutelsat and Arianespace are promoting their sovereign satellite and launch services as crucial, reliable alternatives.
Driven by shifting geopolitics and demand for sovereign solutions, the market is accelerating, with revenue projected to exceed USD137 billion by 2033. However, vendors and investors face significant hurdles, including difficulties in securing funding and slow project timelines that challenge global competitiveness.
While RF over Fiber has its place, the future of satellite communication lies in the flexibility and resilience of RF over IP. Common arguments against this digital transport method, from latency concerns to security implications, are directly confronted and addressed. For most new applications, a digital approach simply proves to be the more scalable and future-proof path forward.
Hyperspectral imagery can give us a wealth of information about the world around us. To take advantage of this, Earth observation company Pixxel gathers a vast amount of data on environmental issues like deforestation, pollution, and oil and gas leaks. Read our top four takeaways.
The number of connected ships is growing at a rapid rate, with new estimates from Novaspace projecting more than a twofold increase in VSAT-connected ships over the next decade.
