Ka-band: The Industry's Next Wave Continues
For many years, Ka-band was touted as the answer to a perceived shortage in satellite frequencies, a situation that led operators to hoard orbital slots and devise unique methods of obtaining traditional FSS and BSS space in the orbital arc. Despite technical experts, warnings of intense rainfade issues and other technological hurdles that needed to be overcome to put this frequency into use, the satellite industry adopted the Ka-band as the logical solution to its FSS and DBS frequency shortage. But in the wake of financial turmoil and industry change, what has happened to the broadband Ka-band players we heard so much about in the past? Who is supplying Ka-band services, how far along are the services, who is using them, how is the regulatory process proceeding, how is the technology working in the field, and what can we expect to see in the coming years? These are only some of the questions that were examined during this panel of Ka-band players and experts.

Satellite Broadband: Is Ka-Band the Way to Grow?
After years of struggles, innovative approaches and challenges, satellite broadband has found its way to market success. A large-capacity Ku/Ka-band satellite is now operating in Asia and, after years of slow growth, we are now hearing the pleasant sounds of 'beam saturation' in North America. Spaceway 3 is finally going to do what it was designed to do: broadband for homes and businesses. Innovative and cost-effective user equipment is being shipped all over the world to meet broadband needs of both commercial and government customers. Have we at last found the right mix of technology and business solutions that have eluded us for quite some time? Can we climb out of the low single-digit market share in this critical part of telecommunications? In this session, leading entrepreneurs and market experts in this critical field will address all aspects of this question.
