NEW MDA SOFTWARE-DEFINED SATELLITES TARGET OPERATOR PAIN POINTS WITH DIGITAL SOLUTIONS
Summary
"We are at the very beginning of a long-term transition from analog to digital satellite technology that in the decade ahead will drive new business models, revenue streams and competitive advantages for operators, manufacturers, and commercial end-users alike. "Next generation satellite technology is the catalyst for industry transformation – from analog to digital, programs to products and one-offs to hundreds," said Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA. • A new class of standardized and modular software-defined satellites enabled by a suite of innovative digital payload technologies that meet multiple non-geostationary orbits and frequencies, with dynamic in-orbit reconfiguration, maximizing delivered capacity and quality of service to users with unprecedented power efficiency. According to market research firm NSR (an Analysys Mason company), software-defined satellite (SDS) orders have seen a steady rise over the past couple of years. With a track record of making space ambitions come true, MDA enables highly skilled people to continually push boundaries, tackle big challenges, and imagine solutions that inspire and endure to change the world for the better, on the ground and in the stars.
