NSR’s Cloud Computing via Satellite report forecasts a $16B cumulative revenue opportunity for cloud-based services in the satellite/space industry through the coming decade. It is clear that satellite needs to increasingly look to the cloud to improve efficiency and ensure it can remain competitive. However, with satellite operators going from Mhz sales (buy, sell, lease bandwidth for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint) to bits – ethernet – point-to-point connectivity, how can we ensure a smooth transition?

The World Satellite Business Week – the leading global business space event – brings together 1,000 decision makers under the same roof for a week of deal-making and intense discussions shaping the future of the industry.

The IET has just announced its Satellite Communications Systems Course taking place in September. This long-standing course has been running for over 30 years and is made-up of 5 modules over a 5-day period in which participants can register for one or more days.

For the next SIG workshop, we will be heading to SES in Luxembourg. As always, the workshop will bring together people working at the operational level of satellite communications to discuss current and future technical challenges. This is likely include many of the topics being covered by our working groups.
