This industry milestone demonstrates the potential of high throughput Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellite constellations.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/11/israels-gilat-partners-with-ses-for-o3b-mpower-meo-communications-system/ Tue, 26 Nov 2019 06:00:14 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=17220 Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd., a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, announced on 18 November 2019 that it has reached a major landmark with the selection by SES for development and deployment of a global multiple application very small aperture terminal (VSAT) platform for its O3b mPOWER Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) communications system.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/11/itu-members-agree-to-new-milestones-for-non-geostationary-satellite-deployment/ Fri, 22 Nov 2019 06:00:15 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=17176 Delegates representing ITU Member States have agreed at the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to adopt an innovative new milestone-based approach for the deployment of non-geostationary satellite (NGSO) systems in specific radio-frequency bands and services.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/07/phasor-achieves-iso-9001-certification/ Fri, 26 Jul 2019 05:00:11 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=15282 Phasor has achieved ISO 9001 Certification ahead of the commercial release of its products for the land mobile, maritime and aviation markets.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/02/o3b-meo-satellites-arrive-at-guiana-space-centre-for-late-march-2019-launch/ Mon, 11 Feb 2019 06:00:30 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=12721 Four new O3b Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites have arrived safely at the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, in preparation for launch by a Soyuz rocket from Arianespace in late March 2019, SES has announced.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2018/12/spacewatchgl-oped-the-case-for-leosat-new-orbits-new-opportunities/ Wed, 05 Dec 2018 06:00:05 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=11631 When talking about GEO versus NGSO systems – predominantly LEO and MEO – one typically ends up in a discussion about latency and how MEO and LEO are capable of offering much lower latencies relative to the traditional GEO satellites. Alternatively one may also end up in an endless debate about satellite pricing and how it will come down by virtue of so much (NGSO) capacity flooding the market, causing many challenges for many satellite operators.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2018/09/swgl-oped-the-mega-constellations-getting-it-right-first-time/ Sun, 23 Sep 2018 08:00:44 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=10487 The past few years have seen the satellite press column inches dominated by excited talk of new mega constellations. We have learned how thousands of small satellites are going to transform connectivity for billions around the world. I should know, I am one of the people that have been excitedly scribbling about it. But now that the dust has settled on the flurry of news of the constellations that are in the pipeline, where are we now?]]> https://spacewatch.global/2018/06/audacy-set-provide-constant-communications-leo-operators-satellites-fcc-licence/ Mon, 11 Jun 2018 05:00:11 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=8951 The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted U.S.-Singaporean New Space company Audacy a licence for the first commercial inter-satellite relay network, and the implications of this are transformational for space communications as LEO operators, for the first time, can be in constant contact with their satellites.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2017/10/space-based-upper-atmosphere-communications-key-sustainable-development/ Tue, 24 Oct 2017 07:00:25 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=6071 This content is for members only.
