Monday Luncheon Keynote: The Four Corners of Innovation Can Unlock the Growth Potential for High Throughput Satellites
Today, the satellite industry is in transition. It is working hard to join the broad telecommunications landscape and break through the current barriers that limit mass-market adoption of satellite consumer and enterprise broadband. Innovative concepts and technologies must come together to propel satellite into the major role it could play in our hyper-connected society. The four corners of innovation — Delivery, Capacity, Efficiency and Distribution — must each create enormous price and performance disruption to meet the latent user demand for broadband worldwide. Join us during the Monday Keynote Lunch with John Finney, Founder, Isotropic to experience first-hand the next generation terminal technology that will enable exponential industry growth.
