Sovereign SATCOM Networks: Maintaining Control of Your Data in Tumultuous Times

Tuesday, March 24 | 1:45 pm – 2:30 pm

Sponsored by Kymeta

Governments around the world recognize the value that alliances deliver when it comes to satellite communications (SATCOM). However, today’s geopolitical environment and rapidly evolving threats are causing allied nations to determine ways to maintain the sovereignty of their data and eliminate their dependence on information sharing by other countries. As such, they are implementing advanced communications services that deliver secure, resilient global connectivity and enhance warfighters’ situational awareness and operational effectiveness. For example, the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command’s Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global (PTS-G) program is focused on providing military users around the world with resilient, agile communications through proliferated small satellites. These satellites operate in Geosynchronous orbit and offer anti-jamming capabilities to enhance the warfighters’ situational awareness and operational effectiveness to meet emerging threats. This panel discussion will outline the steps that governments and commercial providers around the world are taking to build and maintain sovereign networks that provide the resilience and agility required to effectively operate. The panel will also discuss the collaboration between these nations and commercial industry to develop these capabilities.

Ground Systems CEO Executive Roundtable

Tuesday, March 24 | 3:45 – 4:45 pm

Sponsored by Kymeta

In this session, executive leaders from the world’s most prominent ground systems companies outline opportunities and challenges in the market, focusing on the four most prominent questions being directed to the sector: How are advancements in ground systems helping satellite expand its reach into previously untapped 5G and IoT markets for commercial enterprise, and government end users? How are ground systems technology companies preparing for combined, multi-orbit solutions as a result of mega-mergers happening with satellite operators? What growth opportunities are ground systems CEOs seeing in emerging and regional markets that are seeing increased government and private investment? Finally – Will advancements in metamaterials and manufacturing reduce the cost of antenna production to make more affordable terminals? Hear the answers straight from some of the industry’s most respected thought leaders in ground systems hardware.

Terabit Optics, Cloud Agility, Digitization, and AI: The Modernization Roadmap for Satellite Networks

Wednesday, March 25 | 1:45 pm – 2:30 pm

Sponsored by Tesat-Spacecom

Satellite networks are being reshaped by a new class of transformational technologies. This panel explores how Terabit Class high-capacity optical ground systems, transport, waveform virtualization, and generative AI/ML are enabling more adaptive, efficient, and autonomous satellite systems–supporting applications such as signal classification, spectrum monitoring, and real-time network optimization. This session challenges industry stakeholders to accelerate the adoption of these technologies so that multi-orbit SATCOM remains an innovative, indispensable component of global connectivity well beyond 2030.
