New service extends the reach and capability of resilient, secure communication

In a recent session of Thursday Morning Conversations, Via Satellite’s weekly interview series with satellite industry leaders, Intelsat’s Joel Schroeder offered his perspective on the drivers for next-generation, satellite-powered land mobility services.

Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), announced availability of Hughes Smart Network Edge software for defense network operations.

Technology promises to bring high speed internet, along with location-enabled data and communication, to places that lack such access, and to emergency situations where standard communication options become unreliable.

The unique offering combines NTT’s fully managed Private 5G and Edge Compute with SES’s second-generation medium earth orbit communications system - O3b mPOWER - to provide expanded and reliable connectivity.

Satellite communication is set to play an even greater role in the future of global connectivity, particularly with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G critical communications technologies.

Activity at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 reflected a recent trend: interest in IoT has declined, while interest in private networks (and private 5G in particular) continues to grow

This legislation is an important step toward truly universal emergency telecommunications coverage – saving lives, especially in times of disaster and in remote areas that may not have ubiquitous coverage.

The system employs an advanced Generic Converter Unit that enables users to speak over tactical radio and push-to-talk (PTT) devices via satellite.

Services chosen to deliver reliable, high-performance connectivity for citizens and organizations.

The companies are collaborating on a new, advanced satellite connectivity solution for the maritime and energy industries in preparation for the launch of Viasat's next generation satellite constellation, ViaSat-3.

Hytera, together with its subsidiaries Norsat, have recently released a white paper to highlight the importance of radio over satellite solutions on a global scale.

Public Safety Communication Europe (PSCE) and the European Space Agency (ESA) have signed a Memorandum of Intent (MoI) to support the utilisation of satellite applications for Public Safety.

The new Push-to-Talk over satellite solution supports operation anywhere in the world, and is compatible with all other elements within the ESChat communication ecosystem.

Only by combining LTE MCPTT systems with L-band satellite solutions and new network agnostic push-to-talk gateways can disruptive technologies effectively serve remote and vulnerable APAC communities.

Swaledale Mountain Rescue, a mountain and cave rescue team based in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the UK, has successfully trialled a satellite link to provide a reliable and resilient broadband connection for its Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) network
