The company had a landmark year in 2023, growing revenue 26 percent year-over-year, and landing the deal to build Telesat\u2019s Lightspeed constellation in a major win. MDA Space also acquired the digital payload division of SatixFy Communications to enhance its digital satellite offerings. <\/p>\n<p>Accepting the award, Greenley said MDA Space has doubled its business in the last two to three years and is working to double the business again. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a recognition of MDA Space, and what we\u2019ve gone through in the last four years with all that growth, and the position that we\u2019re starting to fill within the space community, which is awesome and exciting,\u201d Greenley said. \u201cIt\u2019s recognition of Luigi Pozzebon and the Satellite Systems team and the tremendous growth we\u2019re going through right now [with our] new digital satellite product MDA Aurora. I\u2019m very happy to accept this award in recognition of all of their efforts.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69d17db1e11;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69d17db1e11 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69d17db1e12').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69d17db1e12'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Isabelle Mauro, director general of the Global Satellite Operators Association (GSOA), accepted the award for 3GPP NTN Standards on behalf of a collaboration between GSOA, ESA, EchoStar, Thales, Inmarsat, Intelsat, and individual contributors. <\/p>\n<p>This group\u2019s work resulted in the successful expansion and adaptation of the 3GPP standards to incorporate non-terrestrial networks (NTN) starting with Release 17. The standards enable full interoperability between satellite and terrestrial including mobility procedures across both network components, allowing mass-market smartphones and IoT devices to connect seamlessly with both terrestrial mobile networks and NTN-based satellite networks when out of range of terrestrial connectivity. This is a key development in satellite direct-to-device connectivity to smartphones and IoT devices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve worked relentlessly to be integrated into 5G and 6G as satellite-based systems, with our members. This award is fantastic, we are so grateful,\u201d Mauro said. \u201cI do believe that the convergence of the mobile and the satellite industry will help connect the 2.6 billion [unconnected] people that Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Secretary General of the ITU mentioned.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>TrustPoint, which won the Startup Space pitch competition, is developing a commercial next-generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to provide performance, security and reliability improvements for GPS users. TrustPoint won over nine other startups that pitched their businesses, judged by a team of venture capitalists.<\/p>\n<p>TrustPoint founder and COO Chris DeMay accepted the award. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m encouraged by the big ideas and the big visions I see here at SATELLITE, and the fact that small companies are given the opportunity to succeed in this industry is tremendous,\u201d DeMay said. \u201cTrustPoint builds and deploys the world\u2019s trusted PNT Solution. On behalf of our incredible team, we were honored to be recognized as part of the innovation happening here.\u201d  <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This
