It’s an obvious point, but one that’s often overlooked: the cheaper it is to deploy equipment into space, the more devices we can put there.
The good news is the satellite industry takes this issue very seriously, a fact that is reflected in this risk being addressed in the opening keynote presentation and being raised as an issue in all the subsequent panel discussions. “They are really not looking just to pay rent to use somebody else’s system, but they want to get all the benefits of being a participant in space.”
“The only thing that’s been missing is getting the right chips in cellphones or IoT devices — and now that’s coming,” explained Dankberg. “It’s as big of a leap forward in technology for the industry as when we first started networking computers with each other,” said Bulent Altan, CEO of laser communications specialist Mynaric, describing optical inter-satellite links, or OISL.
While the industry develops these mega global constellations and brings advanced technology to end-user level there is a definitive realisation that developed markets differ significantly from emerging markets such as Africa, and that Africa would be best served through partnerships with specialised providers such as Q-KON – a company which has already delivered genuine market success with their Twoobii platform.
