The Government & Military Customer in the Commercial Satellite Market
Hosted by Society of Satellite Professionals & The World Teleport Association
Open to Conference Attendees Only!
Track 1:
Pre-Conference Workshop
Government has become the single largest customer segment for the commercial satellite industry. Government agencies in the US and other countries are relying on commercial satellites as never before to maintain security, monitor hazards, train staff, fight battles and deploy sophisticated telecom and IT solutions to remote regions of the world. How effectively are government and the commercial sector interacting as buyer and seller? How are national, state and local agencies using satellite technology? What will be the applications and technologies in greatest demand in the coming years? This half-day workshop will bring together satellite users and providers to explore in-depth the challenges of procuring services and the expanding opportunities to meet needs, solve problems and introduce new technologies.

'Cool' solutions, not 'hot' technologies drive the end-user choice of satellite or terrestrial communications platforms. But, is it quality of service or bargain basement prices that shape decision-making in the enterprise space and SoHo markets? How to find the best of both worlds? The answer lies in weighing measured costs against identified benefits... A potentially complex analysis! This seminar will help you focus on the key factors and processes required for a fundamental cost-benefit appraisal of competing communications solutions, to find the offering that suits your business needs.

The single most politicized issue is the integration of broadcast operations into the IT framework. The cost-reduction benefits are obvious to all, but merging the requirements of program delivery and internal IT is an enormous challenge. Can we all live in one harmonious, ubiquitous network?
