Space & Satellite Professionals International (SSPI) released Truly Connected World, its newest video in the Better Satellite World campaign. It relates the story of unified, trust-based satellite networks are providing connectivity to even the most remote and difficult regions of the world, bringing the world closer together. Truly Connected World is made possible by funding from Isotropic Networks.
Watch the video on SSPI’s website and on Youtube.
“Though billions have yet to go online for the first time, digital connectivity has faster than any other technology in history,” said executive director and producer Robert Bell. “But the more connected we are, the more vulnerable we become, because of the key missing ingredient: trust. Our new video explores what a truly trust-based network could bring to the world.”
Inside the Story
Every year, through relentless innovation, the world is moving closer to becoming completely connected by wires and cables, optical fibers and radio waves. Many of those radio waves make their way through space. Satellites reach vast regions where technology on the ground is missing or costs too much. Today, their services are converging with ground networks as never before. The vision of a truly connected world is becoming a reality. But one thing is still missing: trust. Users need to trust that their vital information is secure — and that networks can handle the explosion of services running on them, because they have become essential to both life and livelihood.
Satellite companies such as Isotropic Networks create solutions that deliver trust, including one called Pendragon. Using artificial intelligence, it combines different ground and space connections into unified networks, expanding coverage, eliminating failures and providing high-speed performance. It monitors every user and device on a network, automatically detecting threats and taking action to stop them. Solutions like Pendragon make it possible to bring internet access to an Indonesian village to automate a massive mine for the rare minerals that power the digital future to give a ship or plane the same connectivity enjoyed at home.
