As the U.S. Air Force forges ahead in crafting its next-generation wideband space architecture, and the Trump Administration seeks approval for a FY ’18 budget with strong increases in space defense spending, Via Satellite spoke with Air Force strategists, procurement decision makers and satellite industry government experts about how they see the DoD’s strategic communications priorities unfolding in a constantly evolving threat environment.

The future of satellite communications has never been more exciting with the increasing interest and investment in LEO, MEO, and GEO constellations, especially in the Ka-band arena. However, LEO and MEO constellations require a much larger volume of antennas and gateways compared to a GEO satellite, and amplifier providers must find a way to offer lower priced equipment to make it affordable to these customers.

The satellite industry’s rapid rollout of high-bandwidth constellations is creating new performance demands on the amplifier market. That reality, along with recent and expected launches of a number of Low […]

Operators want bigger, more flexible, more cost-effective satellites. The wishlist is considerable. The question is, can satellite manufacturers step up to the plate and deliver the next generation of satellites even quicker?
