The attack, leveraging a stealthy Golang backdoor dubbed Sosano, exemplifies the evolving tactics of cyber espionage targeting high-value infrastructures. These tailored, low-volume lures highlight the increasing risks that trusted supply chains and partner networks pose to operational security.
Software-defined satellite systems offer dynamic capacity and coverage that can be tailored to the end users’ specific needs. To learn more, Constellations spoke with a panel of experts: Park Boonyubol of Thaicom; Dallas Kasaboski of Analysys Mason; and John Chay of Kratos. Read our four takeaways from the discussion.
The satcom market is entering a new phase of competition. After Starlink’s astronomic rise, incumbents are answering the challenge with multi-orbit, multi-network strategies.
With SpaceX’s Starlink reshaping markets, legacy satellite companies are racing to adopt flexible, software-defined technologies. The industry’s future hinges on abandoning closed ecosystems and swiftly adopting open standards to integrate seamlessly with global telecom networks.
Satellite communication providers must adapt quickly, delivering multi-orbit, flexible connectivity solutions to meet expanding mission profiles. As global UAV use escalates, versatile satcom offerings will become crucial for governments navigating increasingly complex geopolitical environments.
Initial rollout in Brazil saw over 500 JDLink Boost units sold on day one, highlighting massive market demand. Deere aims to expand this connectivity solution to global agriculture and potentially construction sectors, reinforcing its commitment to innovation with Starlink.
This milestone marks a critical advancement in interoperability standards for ground system products. The compliance framework includes self-testing (silver) and third-party validation (gold) phases to ensure robust and reliable solutions.
We all rely on GPS and GNSS capabilities in our day-to-day lives, but GPS systems are vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. Ian Canning, CEO of EACOWT, broke down how LEO constellations can add a layer of resiliency to GPS. Read our takeaways from the discussion.
While GEO is seemingly falling out of favor among commercial satellite operators, almost 600 essential and costly satellites currently reside in that orbit. Unfortunately, GEO is increasingly congested – filled with spacecraft and space debris – and has inherent challenges regarding space domain and situational awareness. Analyze the importance of SSA and SDA in GEO and explore how advanced AI and ML technologies could open the door to better awareness in that critically important orbit.
