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?

At the same time, satellite is challenged with the expectation of instant connectivity and the need to shift the way services are managed and delivered, adopting a model much more akin to mobile service provision.

In this tech forum, we will discuss the opportunity and challenges of moving to a more cloud-based environment. Following a short introduction by SIG Director, Paul Isaac, there will be an opportunity for open discussion under Chatham House Rules, giving members the chance to ask questions, suggest resolutions, or simply discuss the topic in more depth.
