Executive Outlook

MITEQ Inc.

Arthur Faverio, President

The increased availability, decreased cost and an increase in innovative uses of mobile applications and services have created and will continue to create a very significant increase in communications usage. This puts more pressure on the communications infrastructure and has a positive ripple effect on the satellite communications industry as this demand for mobile communication reaches areas with minimal land interconnectivity. The satellite industry is the provider of choice for hard to reach or costly to reach places. The natural evolution of mobile communications to higher data rates and more reliable connections raises the level of equipment sophistication, which bodes well for a quality satellite equipment manufacturer such as MITEQ. MITEQ looks forward to meeting the demand of these new applications.

ViaSat

Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO

The dominant trend in mobile service is the rise of data & media over voice calls as the revenue engine. The good: growing expectations for connectivity “everywhere” – including places where satellite is the best option. The challenge: more competitive cost per bit and convenience– which requires new innovations to meet user expectations when mobile services are delivered by satellite.
