Day 2 will focus on VSAT applications, with confirmed speakers including Robert Kubbernus, CEO at Signalhorn, Vern Fotheringham, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kymeta and Rick Hodgkinson, President & CEO at Galaxy Broadband Communications. Robert comments “The VSAT market is evolving. There was a time when VSAT was a domain all on its own, however, today it must fit into a much more homogeneous environment where Terrestrial, Wireless and Satellite share in the delivery of any global network. Figuring out how to collaborate, cooperate and contribute to these complex hybrid networks is critical.” Robert will discuss Signalhorn’s take on the rise of ‘narrowband’ VSAT technology, with a particular focus on the role of VSAT in developing the hybrid telecommunications networks necessary for the deployment of large scale SCADA, M2M and Smart Grid applications.
The three day conference agenda will cover the most important topics affecting the global VSAT industry, facilitating an in-depth look at VSAT Vertical Markets and Applications and a thorough examination and discussion of recent trends and innovations. This unique event aims to attract the entire satellite ecosystem from satellite manufacturers to end-users in VSAT vertical markets and new dedicated networking sessions have been built into the program to aid debate and discussion. The show also includes an interactive exhibition, enabling delegates to experience an exclusive showcase of the latest in VSAT technological innovation.
