Two industry perspectives argue that satellite communications are moving beyond separate, proprietary systems toward integration with terrestrial networks and the mobile economy. Multi-orbit connectivity is presented as a way to build more resilient digital infrastructure when no single network is sufficient.
Viasat Government has ordered multiple ALL.SPACE Hydra MAX terminals for government and defense users needing connectivity on the move. The terminals can transmit across multiple satellite links simultaneously and are approved for Viasat’s global NextGen Ka-band network, including military Ka-band.
The UK spectrum regulator is seeking changes to international rules that limit transmission power for low-Earth-orbit broadband systems in Ku and Ka bands. The restrictions were established about 25 years ago to protect geostationary satellites from interference; Ofcom argues they should be softened for newer LEO constellations.
Duncan Aviation has ordered 40 Gogo Galileo HDX low-Earth-orbit satellite internet systems, in what Gogo describes as its largest single MRO order this year. Duncan says pre-stocking the equipment will help it meet customer requirements.
