Category: Ecosystem Convergence

We see three key elements to convergence that are impacting our industry:
The first is convergence on the terrestrial side which is mainly driven by Telcos moving toward the 5G standard, driving a master network of networks architecture that is massive in scale. In the future 5G connected world, we see it as our mandate to ensure satellite connectivity’s place in a fully converged, end-to-end network.
Then, there is convergence between the space and ground segment which will inevitably become more intertwined and demand tight integration as both evolve to accommodate software-defined technological developments. And then finally, you also have the cloud, where convergence is also happening in the sense that the industry is moving away from using very dedicated proprietary hardware to more generic cloud platforms in order to scale.
