ETL Systems

Paul Gouws, Chief Technology Officer

14:05    The Evolution of SATCOM Ground Segment: Emerging Trends and Technologies

Synopsis:

The SATCOM industry is currently undergoing the most significant transformation it has experienced in decades. This is equally true of the ground segment which is undergoing important technology changes to keep pace. This presentation will highlight some of the drivers as well as the technologies being developed to address these opportunities. 


Ubotica

Sean Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer

14:25    Inter-Satellite Communications and Onboard AI enabling Live Earth Intelligence

Synopsis:

Putting Edge AI processing onboard Earth Observation satellites enables the analysis of images onboard and the extraction of insights in real time. Inter-satellite communication links enable a persistent communication path to ground, meaning critical insights can get to end users in minutes from acquisition of the image. This enables new observing strategies and the era of Live Earth Intelligence, with real-time insights and automated collaboration of satellite assets.


Telefónica Tech

Pete Wilson, Head of Channel Strategy and Sales - Cyber, Cloud and Security

14:45    Dual-mode (Satellite and Terrestrial) IoT Applications

Synopsis:

Make a significant impact on revenue growth during your IoT journey by preparing and understanding the challenging landscape. In this session there are several key topics that will be covered:

  • How D2D / NTN may impact your business model and application development.
  • Leverage the right partner(s) in a complicated ecosystem.
  • Learn about the good news that significant growth brings and how to avoid the bad news of what significant growth brings.
  • Explore how to maximize efficiency and ​improve operations.


OQ Technology

Omar Qaise, Founder and CEO

15:05    The D2D Impact on Satcom

Synopsis:

The direct-to-device whether IoT or smart phones has received a lot of attention recently with many believing to b the holy grail of the satellite telecommunication industry. The impact of D2D on the satcom market and the role of NewSpace in it will be discussed.


FOSSA Systems

Julian Fernandes, Chief Executive Officer

15:25    Low power Satellite IoT for industrial and national security use cases.

Synopsis:

Standardized LoRa LPWAN technology is well deploying in industrial use cases, FOSSA is deploying a worldwide LEO constellation to connect these COTS devices directly in the most hard to reach areas. Sovereignty and security must be at the forefront of satellite connectivity for national security and IoBT use cases. 


AI Partner

Tim Pavlick, Chief Product Officer Artificial Intelligence and Bio Design

15:45    The evolving role of AI in the Satellite Industry

Synopsis

AI experiments are common throughout the New Space Ecosystem. However McKinsey studies show only 10-15% of companies apply AI to productive use. This talk will focus on applying AI across your New Space infrastructure.


Leaf Space
