High and Very-High Throughput Satellites

GEOs . MEOs . LEOs . HEOs - The Latest in NewAge Spacefeed

December 5th . 2024 . 14:00 UK Time (GMT) . 15:00 (CET) . 09:00 (EST)

Held Bi-Annually in London and Washington DC as a person to person event since 2012... the HTS Roundtable has evolved, with the satellite industry, from the hugely powerful FSS satellites launched shortly after the turn of the decade, through to the current era of multi-sized, multi earth orbit, mega-constellations of communications satellites and their hyperconvergence with terrestrial technologies, initially to meet the demands and requirements of remote connectivity scenarios but more recently, to enhance the capability of terrestrial networks to cope with exponentially rising data volumes, not just in remote locations but urban settings too. The HTS Roundtable has featured speakers from Satellite Operators, Service Providers and Equipment Designers.

New Capabilities with Agile Satcom Ground Systems

Alan Campbell - Principal Solutions Architect Space Products

SYNOPSIS: The ground is changing for High Throughput Satellite (HTS) communication systems. Operators are seeking to move towards digital teleport infrastructure to reduce physical infrastructure and avoid vendor lock. The new Waveform Architecture for Virtualized Ecosystems (WAVE) consortium aims to transform the Satcom industry to a fully interoperable ecosystem using intelligent, open, and virtualized networks. This track discusses the role of Cloud Computing in this new path forward. Vendors can publish optimized waveforms in the Cloud marketplace for operators to consume, and new AI/ML capabilities are available to, for example, detect impairments in digitized RF signals or forecast and reallocate satellite capacity in near real-time.
