What: SATCON, the Satellite Applications Technology Conference

Solutions. To receive a press pass for the show, register

Why: More and more, satellite customers are demanding more
complete, high-bandwidth solutions to their evolving multimedia
application needs. To meet these needs, satellite operators
are beginning to partner with complementary service providers
like Microspace Communications Corporation (Microspace) to
offer hybrid networks joining both fiber and satellite infrastructure.
The implications of this trend could dramatically transform
the satellite industry, driving additional usage for satellites
while simplifying the process for the consumer.
Who: Greg Hurt, director of marketing at
Microspace, is an expert in point-to-multipoint delivery
of audio, video
and
data content via satellite, and in augmenting terrestrial
networks
with satellite. The panel is moderated by Joan M. Byrnes,
vice president at Andrew Corporation. Other members
of
the panel include: Adam Hessler, manager of media network
infrastructure,
Cisco; Jon Romm, president, media and entertainment solutions,
Intelsat; and Edward P. Caleca, senior vice president
of
technology, distribution & operations, PBS.
