A growing body of satcoms view infrastructure as the gateway for enabling interoperable, high-throughput, low-latency hybrid networks.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Freeman, senior vice president of Land Mobile for Kymeta Corporation \u2014 a self-described \u201cchief evangelist\u201d \u2014 offered his insights on the future of hybrid solutions from the perspective of an organization that has embraced more than one identity. Kymeta, which made a name for itself as a provider of flat-panel, electronically steered antennas and hardware, has expanded into a well-known full-scale solutions provider with a portfolio of hardware and software offerings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t think of ourselves as a satellite company,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cWe think of ourselves as a communications company.

Its line of holographic antennas are flexible and multifaceted, and enable internet access for passengers and their vehicles on virtually any moving platform such as trucks, trains, buses, automobiles or vessels.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Co-presenter Shayn Hawthorne, senior manager and Amazon Web Service (AWS) Ground Station Program Lead, Amazon Web Services, said it\u2019s important to approach all solutions with the end user in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Hawthorne said he\u2019s focused on building services to support \u201cair-gapped regions\u201d in order to support government-specific needs. \u201cWe\u2019ve got \u2026 a strategic goal that we want to do what is best for our customers. Working backwards is being customer obsessed and figuring out what workloads they want to do and how to help them do that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/marquee-test-akiaisur2rgicbmpehea\/WkGzDf9SZ2cF41H3baAq_D7S_6811%202.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>The focus on infrastructure and ground systems is an important expansion for a company whose founder, Jeff Bezos, has solidified his foothold in the satellite industry with Blue Origin. The 2018 rollout of a new AWS platform offers multiple services to the commercial satellite supply chain. In an April 2019 interview with Via Satellite, Hawthorne described Ground Station as a \u201cgame-changer\u201d for the industry, and the world\u2019s first fully managed ground station as a service, which will make things easier for satellite operators to get their data back on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Freeman, meanwhile, discussed the way Kymeta\u2019s multiple technologies \u2014 such as beam-forming technology to mute signals, and diffractive metamaterials \u2014 blend together to form a comprehensive solution in order to ensure the right data is transmitted at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk about cellular deserts and cellular shadows,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cWe want to blend into the fabric so we are \u2026 another communication channel \u2026 some data needs to come out of the car in seconds, other data [can be delayed] \u2026 So if you\u2019re a Facebook update, we can buffer or delay that. We\u2019re talking about a way to inteligently monitor what comes into and out of that vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When moderator Daniel DiFonzo, president of Planar Communications Corp., asked about the viability of true interoperability in the industry, both speakers suggested it will become more of a reality in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the further future, I see us offering further interoperability with digitization of [Radio Frequencies] RFs, so you can have lots of different antennas in cities, and can use digital signal processing on the backend,\u201d Hawthorne said. \u201cThe hope is to get to a future where the different frequencies don\u2019t become an impediment.\u201d <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This
