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.
