Events

At this in-person event in Mountain View, Calif., our CTO and Chairman Bill Milroy will join panelists exploring how satellite ground equipment is adapting to all the burgeoning connectivity possibilities – from higher frequencies, lower latency, higher throughput, and gain.

CTO and Chairman Bill Milroy will speaking on the panel “Ground Station Technology for LEO, MEO, and GEO” with Satixfy, Isotropic, Intellian and Hughes Network Systems.

CTO and Chairman Bill Milroy will be speaking  and providing an “Emerging Technology Brief” on phased array antennas.

It was great to be back in person at this premier industry event! Jeffrey Hill, event chair and Via Satellite editor, caught up with his “go-to expert on grounds systems technology,” ThinKom CTO Bill Milroy:

At SATELLITE, our CTO moderated an informative discussion detailing the latest R&D work on new satellite transmission protocols, focusing on bandwidth optimization and efficiency and performance when connecting to virtualized and WAN networks. Speakers will also provide an overview of the latest science on VHTS and ultra-high frequency bandwidths, as well as new encoding and decoding capabilities from space.

Access this now through the event’s Digital Encore program.

During IMS’s virtual workshop “Satellite Systems: A Top-Down Review of Satellites, Space Communication and Hardware,” our CTO Bill Milroy provided a general overview of the GSO- and NGSO-based SatCom terminal markets, including relevant requirements and challenges (bandwidth, beam agility/flexibility, gain and power efficiency, reliability, scan coverage, size/profile, and cost).

Watch the video below where he discusses specific commercial and government X, Ku, and Ka terminal examples, for aeronautical, mobile, and fixed user and gateway applications.

Key design considerations (and trends) relating to profile, power/cooling, efficiency, reliability, scan range, frequency coverage, GSO/NGSO interoperability, and regulatory compliance will be discussed in detail. Applications including Fixed, Mobile, and Aeronautical User Terminals (UT) across Consumer, Enterprise, and Government markets will be described, together with Gateway and Satellite Payload antenna examples.
