Starlink’s Dominance, Satcom for Mobility and Competing with Fiber
Constellations - Explore Space Network Technologies with Industry Leaders
SpaceX has an outsized influence on the satellite industry as the preeminent launch provider. But in 2024, revenue from Starlink outstripped launch for the first time. Grace Khanuja, Manager at Novaspace, discusses Novaspace’s biannual report on SpaceX, the growing verticals that SpaceX will likely target in the next few years, and what it will take for satcom to compete with fiber.
info_outlineOn the Constellations Podcast, the overall importance of GPS by commercial and military will be discussed. Hear from Ian Canning, President and CEO of the Eutelsat America Corporation and OneWeb Technologies Inc. (EACOWT) as he discusses reasons and strategies to support position, navigation and timing. He will also describe the capabilities of operators in LEO to enhance resiliency for government communications, especially in regards to GPS/GNSS challenged environments. Hear Ian talk about the role LEO is playing in the evolution of U.S. military satellite communication, driven by the need for faster decisions which require faster connectivity. Mr. Canning emphasizes that LEO constellations have specific advantages when it comes to resiliency, such as the difficulty to target and take out an entire LEO system versus one GEO satellite.
