MEETING THE RISING DEMAND FOR GLOBAL MOBILE SATCOM WITH NEW VSAT
TECHNOLOGIES,SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS
The Mira Hotel, Hong Kong 28th – 29th October 2014
WHAT’S NEW FOR 2014
The VSAT Mobility market continues to grow at an
exponential rate, with the demand for on-the-move
and on-the-pause VSAT services on land, air and
sea becoming an increasingly prioritised focus for
many in the VSAT industry.
Following the success of the inaugural event in 2013 the VSAT
Mobility conference has become firmly established as a productive
and informative central meeting place for the global mobile VSAT
community to meet and discuss the future of VSAT Mobility
technologies, services and applications.
The satellite industry is evolving, and the VSAT mobility market is
emerging as a critical vertical for driving growth through the
emergence of new opportunities. VSAT Mobility 2014 will provide the
VSAT community with a platform to discus the challenges of meeting
the demand for high quality and reliable mobile VSAT services across
the globe. 2014 sees this international event move to Hong Kong to
reflect the industry innovation and development in that region.
Addressing all the key Mobility Verticals – Maritime, Aeronautical
and Land, with presentations evaluating the varying challenges and
opportunities presented by each, VSAT Mobility 2014 includes
presentations from Fleet at Jaya Holdings, SpeedCast, Network
Innovations (GMPCS), KVH Industries, Astrium, GapSat, COMSYS
and NSR among others, who will share their plans and go-to-market
strategies. The high-level programme will explore the latest
technologies, applications and services that are disrupting and
revolutionising the VSAT marketplace.
We look forward to meeting you in Hong Kong,
Caroline Hicks
