Past event: Mobile MILSATCOM 2015 Conference

Introducing the first conference in the world dedicated to enhancing SATCOM-on-the-move capabilities in a cost-effective framework


Whether it is operating in the air, by sea, or on land, militaries need to have reliable communications while they are mobile. The question is: can this be achieved in a cost-effective manner in era when militaries are operating under increasingly constrained defence budgets?

The advances in SATCOM-on-the-move (SOTM) technology over the past few years have been extraordinary, as issues such as the Doppler Effect or the antenna pointing dynamics have largely been solved. However, as the demands increase for more transmitting more information, there are challenges for SOTM at higher frequencies, namely Ka-band, with a narrower beam. Equally, issues remain with interference from other satellites and wireless communications systems active in the same area. On that last point, questions remain as to how to effectively block nearby potentially hostile units from eavesdropping on your communications.

Our inaugural Mobile MILSATCOM will bring leading military and industry stakeholders together to discuss these issues. This conference provides an ideal opportunity for you to share knowledge, learn from, and engage with your international counterparts from allied nations in this dynamic and crucial sector of defence capability. With military representation already confirmed from across Europe, North America and Asia, this promises to be the most thought-provoking and diverse gathering of the MILSATCOM community in 2015.
