High-throughput satellite (HTS) platforms like Intelsat EpicNG are poised to take on the growing demand for more flexible connectivity and enhanced performance, all at a lower cost per-bit.
Our new video reviews the results of Intelsat EpicNG performance testing. Intelsat General tested its EpicNG IS-29e satellite using unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including Class III aircraft, with […]

The budgetary climate and the pace of technological innovation are making outsourced satellite-related services (SRS) increasingly compelling for government and commercial customers alike. The Air Force, for example, has been developing a strategy for better managing its satellite operations. One of the areas discussed has been leveraging commercial capacity to perform telemetry, tracking and control

When the U.S. military began using satellite communications many decades ago, space was a sanctuary. That’s no longer the case today. New potential adversaries and a proliferation of non-kinetic techniques have increased the risks to satellite communications even as the military’s reliance on this technology grows. Meanwhile, the commercial industry’s efforts to improve SATCOM resiliency

I recently attended the Satellite 2017 conference in Washington, DC, and there was a lot of talk regarding low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations. A half-dozen or so have been proposed, and in all likelihood not all will be successful.
The one that most experts would consider the most viable is the one proposed by OneWeb. And

There is a massive technological transformation going on around the world today. The distinguishing characteristic of this transformation is the accelerating speed and scope of the IT platforms and systems that support modern society. Many are calling this the fourth industrial revolution.
The first industrial revolution occurred when the power of water and steam were first

We have entered a strategic alliance with Airbus Defence and Space that will give our customers access to the X and UHF frequency bands using the Skynet satellite constellation, increasing our capabilities and services in the Asia Pacific region.
“This new partnership will enable Intelsat General to offer Skynet services to their already strong existing customer

Canada is attempting, for the second time, to kick off a project that would put satellites into the Arctic to improve communications for its military and federal departments. But while Canada looks to its neighbors to help foot the bill, the country could save significant time and money by taking a look at what’s available

Intelsat General (IGC) is constantly working to advance satellite-related technology, to improve performance and to introduce new services for our government customers. An area where exciting progress is being made is in antenna design, and one of the companies we’re collaborating with is Kymeta.
Intelsat has been working with Kymeta for over three years. Kymeta’s antenna

Earlier this month I attended the Satellite 2017 conference, meeting with and listening to many leaders in commercial and government space. One of the best presentations was given by Major General David Thompson, the Vice Commander at Air Force Space Command.  Gen. Thompson highlighted the Air Force mission to dramatically improve resiliency in space operations

The commercial space industry is on the cusp of a new era in satellite performance. In the past two years, multiple commercial satellite operators have begun launching high-throughput satellite (HTS) constellations. These next-generation satellites will be able to provide far more throughput than existing wideband satellites, with increases in throughput of up to 400 percent.
