NewSat and the 2012 APSCC Satellite Conference and Exhibition by Brandon Lee

The APSCC 2012 Satellite Conference & Exhibition is an international gathering for the executives in the satellite and the space-related industries held at the COEX Convention Centre, Seoul Special City, South Korea, September 5-27.

The 15th installment to the flagship event of the APSCC is back in Seoul, the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea, a sovereign state in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and is a key opportunity to discuss strategic partnerships and generate new business opportunities.

David Ball, Chief Technology/Technical Officer (CTO) of NewSat, to date, Australia’s largest satellite communications provider, is joining the other satellite operators on the “Leading the Satellite Evolution” panel, discussing the following:

First, they want to know where in the continent of Asia, the world’s largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres, in which regions, or for which types of capacity is the issue of oversupply or growing demand most important. They also want to know the pricing trends expected. Second, they want to know how will the competitive dynamic between global and regional operators play out. Third, they want to see know if partnerships are the most effective route for growing regional operator supply. Fourth, they are seeing the bright spots and trouble spots for satellite operators in Asia in the next few years. Lastly, they want to know how will new the high throughput satellites (HTS), a classification for communications satellites that provide at least twice, though usually by a factor of 20 or more, the total throughput of a classic FSS satellite for the same amount of allocated orbital spectrum thus significantly reducing cost-per-bit, affect the market in Asia.

Ball is in an executive-level position in NewSat focusing on scientific and technological issues within an organization; that is, satellite communications/communications satellite (COMSAT), an artificial satellite sent to space for the purpose of telecommunications.

NewSat, although located in the “Commonwealth of Australia,” a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, provides coverage to 75% of the Earth’s surface, through its satellites, VSAT, and teleports--a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) is a two-way satellite ground station or a stabilized maritime VSAT antenna with a dish antenna that is smaller than three meters, while a telecommunication port, or more commonly, teleport, is a satellite ground station with multiple parabolic antennas (i.e., an antenna farm) that functions as a hub connecting a satellite or geocentric orbital network with a terrestrial telecommunications network.

Asian satellite conferences solidifies region's leadership in the industry

The China Satellite Conference 2012 is one of the most anticipated events of the satellite industry in the Asia Pacific Region. In recent years, Asia itself, has emerged as the leading region when its comes to satellite communications technology, and the positive growth will continue with increased demand for direct-to-home services in rising economic powerhouses like India, the Middle East, and even Southeast Asia. 



This year, the China Satellite Conference will be held at the Hotel Nikko New Century in Beijing, from the 19th of September to the 21st. The three-day event is expected to draw not just key organizations from Asia, but also international operators. Attendees will get the chance to meet with suppliers, hardware manufacturers, engineers, satellite service providers and operators, along with business leaders and Chinese policy makers.

The following week, South Korea will be host to the annual Asia-Pacific Satellite Communications Council Conference & Exhibition, or the APSCC 2012. From September 25 to 27, delegates will converge at the COEX Convention Centre in the capital Seoul, to discuss Asia's leading position in the industry. 



A special panel discussion, entitled "Leading The Satellite Evolution", will be led by key leaders from satellite operators. The forum will look into the expected pricing trends in Asia, the specific demand in specific Asian regions, how partnerships are affecting regional operators supplies, and the emerging technologies as well as challenges faced by the satellite sector in general. 

Both events emphasize Asia as the forefront of collaboration initiatives with satellite operators from across the globe. At the same time, the event brings to light important issues which satellite communications companies have to resolve, including the delivery of smarter technologies to a region with growing demand.

No single player can meet all of the demand, and the conferences in China and South Korea will be a key opportunity for operators to discuss business strategies and potential joint ventures. 

Done reading? You might also want to take a look at the events in Europe. The IBC 2012 in Amsterdam will draw thousands of delegates from the electronic media and entertainment content industry.
